Remo Stars Ladies have secured a historic place in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Super Six Playoffs following a hard fought 2–2 draw against Abia Angels in a rescheduled matchday 13 clash. The result was enough to guarantee the Ikenne-based club their maiden appearance in the end of season championship round.
Wemimo Matthew’s side displayed resilience to hold off Abia Angels, and the point earned not only confirmed their place but also indirectly benefited Nasarawa Amazons. The Lafia side booked their ticket to the playoffs after defeating reigning champions Edo Queens 1–0 earlier in the week.
With this, five teams have now secured their places in the NWFL Super Six Remo Stars Ladies, Nasarawa Amazons, Edo Queens, Bayelsa Queens, and Rivers Angels. The final slot will be determined on the last day of the regular season, with Naija Ratels and FC Robo Queens locked in a tense battle for the remaining spot.
Editorial
The rise of Remo Stars Ladies into the Super Six spotlight is more than a footballing milestone it’s a testament to vision, investment, and belief. In just a short time, the Ikenne based club has gone from relative obscurity to one of the top six teams in Nigerian women’s football. That’s no fluke; it’s the product of structure and sustained ambition.
Nasarawa Amazons’ qualification underscores experience and pedigree. They are no strangers to the playoffs, and their ability to shut down Edo Queens when it mattered most shows they’ve still got the hunger. But what excites us most is the increasing competitiveness of the NWFL. Gone are the days when only a few names dominated the landscape. Now, teams like Remo Stars Ladies are shaking the table—and that’s good for the game.
