Edo Queens, Bayelsa Queens, and Nasarawa Amazons are set for a decisive NWFL Premiership Super Six finale, with all three sides still in contention for the title heading into Sunday’s final matchday in Port Harcourt, www.aclsports.com reports.
After four rounds of fixtures, Edo Queens sit at the top of the standings with nine points, while Bayelsa Queens and Nasarawa Amazons remain firmly within reach of the title, both on seven points. With only one set of matches remaining, the race is finely poised and could be decided by the smallest of margins.
The final day will be staged at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, where the Super Six has already delivered a series of tight encounters and late drama, setting the stage for a fitting conclusion to the season.
Edo Queens
Edo Queens head into the final matchday knowing the title is theirs to lose. Their position at the summit means a win or draw will guarantee them their second league title in three seasons, and they will achieve it against defending champions Bayelsa Queens regardless of other results.
Three consecutive victories, alongside 12 goals scored, have put the Benin-based side on the brink of lifting the trophy. Coach Moses Aduku is on the verge of becoming the first coach in NWFL Premiership history to win three league titles with two different clubs, having previously guided Bayelsa Queens to the title in 2022 before leading Edo Queens to glory in 2024, which they secured with a 1-1 draw against Bayelsa Queens in Yenagoa.
Bayelsa Queens
Bayelsa Queens must win to keep their hopes of retaining the title alive.
The defending champions have shown resilience after a slow start to the competition but now face their biggest test against the league leaders. A victory for Whyte Ogbonda’s side would move them back into contention as they aim to become the first club in six seasons to successfully defend the NWFL Premiership title since Rivers Angels, depending on the outcome of the other match.
Nasarawa Amazons
Nasarawa Amazons remain in the race but require a near-perfect set of results to lift the trophy.
The Lafia-based side failed to win after their opening two victories but remain mathematically alive on seven points. However, they need a series of favourable results to claim their first title since 2017.
Christopher Danjuma’s team must beat Rivers Angels by more than three goals and then hope the outcome of Edo Queens versus Bayelsa Queens works in their favour, with a narrow Bayelsa Queens win enough to keep their hopes alive.
For Rivers Angels and FC Robo Queens, the final matches provide an opportunity to end the campaign on a positive note, while Abia Angels will look to cap an impressive debut Super Six appearance.
Beyond the title race, the golden boot battle is also heading for a thrilling finish, with Rivers Angels’ Abasiofon Uwah and Edo Queens’ Atume Doosuur leading the scoring charts with 13 goals each. FC Robo Queens’ Adegbuyi Oluwakemi and Edo Queens’ Moses Chioma are also among the leading scorers with 11 goals each.
With three teams still in the title race, the Super Six concludes with everything to play for. Every goal, save, and moment of concentration could prove decisive in deciding the champions.
