NWFL Temporarily Suspends 2025/2026 League, Set to Resume February 18

Posted : 23 January 2026

The Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) has announced a temporary suspension of league activities, with fixtures scheduled to resume on February 18.

The decision, following the conclusion of Matchday 7, was prompted by a formal complaint submitted to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) regarding the unavailability of a significant number of players from one of the participating clubs.

The complaint highlighted that more than five players from the club were involved with the Nigeria U-20 Women’s National Team, affecting the team’s ability to field a full and competitive squad.

In a circular addressed to all clubs, NWFL Chief Operating Officer Modupe Shabi confirmed the postponement, stating that the move was made in the interest of competitive balance and fairness across the league. League action is now scheduled to resume with Matchday 8 fixtures on February 18.

The adjustment has also led to changes in the league calendar. While the NWFL had initially planned a mid-season break after Matchday 9, the revised schedule now reduces the break to one week.

Delta Queens FC welcomed the league’s decision, commending the NWFL for its proactive approach to safeguarding the integrity of the competition. The club acknowledged that although the postponement alters the original timetable, it is a necessary step to ensure a level playing field for all teams.

In a statement, Delta Queens affirmed its commitment to making productive use of the break to fine-tune preparations ahead of the league’s resumption. The club reiterated its focus on strong performances in the second phase of the season and pledged continued support for the NWFL’s efforts to ensure a smooth and successful continuation of the campaign.
