The Nigeria Basketball Federation has rescheduled the commencement of the 2019 Zenith Bank Women Basketball League season for July 20th.

According to the Nigeria Basketball Federation, the postponement is to allow all clubs complete their registration.

Due to the financial strength of the clubs, the teams will be divided into four groups in line with the traditional Atlantic and Savannah Conferences and games will be played in a home and away format.

The NBBF President, Engr Musa Kida said, “We are mindful of the economic situation in Nigeria which has continued to directly affect the financial strength of these club owners and as a responsible federation, we will continue to work closely with all stakeholders.”

First Bank Basketball Club will start her title defence alongside arch rivals, Dolphins, Sunshine Angels, Ekiti Angels, Oluyole Babes and Ogun Babes in Lagos.

In Akure, Delta Force, IGP Queens, MFM Queens, Coal City Queens of Enugu and First Deep Waters will fight for one of the 8 slots in the National Conference phase.

Zaria will play host to Taraba Hurricanes, Kebbi Angels, Adamawa Angels, Zamfara Babes, Exousia Angels, GT-2000, Nigeria Army Amazons and Kano based AHIP.

Nigeria Customs, Benue Princes, Plateau Rocks, Nasarawa Amazons, Blackgold Queens, Air Warriors Babes and FCT Wings will converge in Abuja.

The Teams will play a round-robin format which will serve as the first leg (home games) before embarking on a short break.

Different venues will be picked as hosts of the second leg (away games) after which eight teams (total of 16) will emerge to play the Conference phase before the National Final Four.

The federation assured that the sponsor (Zenith Bank) and the NBBF have already concluded plans to commence the league while waiting for total compliance from clubs.
