The NWFL Super Six Golden Boot race has arrived at the moment where every chance counts twice once for the goal and once for what it means to the scorers’ table. Thirteen goals, twelve, eleven. Three players, three different clubs, two matchdays to go.
The 2025-26 NWFL Premiership Golden Boot will be decided in Port Harcourt over the competition’s final two matchdays, and the race entering those decisive rounds is as tight as Nigerian women’s football supporters could have hoped for. Three goals separate the leading quartet, ensuring that every opportunity a forward creates in the remaining fixtures carries weight that goes well beyond the match result it contributes to.
NWFL Super Six Golden Boot Standings (after Matchday 4)
1. Atume Doosuur (Edo Queens) — 13 goals
2. Abasiofon Uwah (Rivers Angels) — 12 goals
3. Oluwakemi Adegbuyi (FC Robo Queens) — 11 goals
Two matchdays remaining. Three goals separate the leading quartet.
Atume Doosuur of Edo Queens leads the standings with 13 goals across the season, a tally that reflects consistent contribution throughout both the regular season and the Super Six playoff rounds. The striker is on course to claim the individual honour that would cap a personally excellent campaign one in which her goals have been central to keeping Edo Queens among the title contenders in Port Harcourt. But her advantage is slim enough that two goalless matches would leave the race entirely open for the challengers behind her.

Uwah and Adegbuyi Push Hard
Abasiofon Uwah of Rivers Angels sits one goal behind Doosuur with 12, the closest any player has been to the Edo Queens striker at any point in the Super Six phase. Uwah is among the most consistent goal threats in the competition and was instrumental in Rivers Angels’ Matchday One performance, finding the net twice to put herself firmly in the Golden Boot conversation from the opening round. Her club’s mixed results across the Super Six have not diminished her personal output, and with two matches still to play she remains the most likely player to overtake Doosuur if the Edo Queens forward goes quiet.
Oluwakemi Adegbuyi completes the leading group with 11 goals, having added to her tally with the goal she scored against Nasarawa Amazons when Robo Queens recorded their first Super Six win on Matchday Three. Adegbuyi arrived in the competition with her name already attached to one of the most recognisable individual performances in the playoffs, having scored after coming on as a substitute in Matchday Two of the Super Six. Her presence on 11 goals, two behind the leader, means a two-goal performance in either of the remaining fixtures could change the picture completely. The presence of two Edo Queens players, Doosuur and at least one other challenger from the same club among the leading scorers reflects the attacking depth that has made Edo Queens one of the competition’s two title favourites heading into the final rounds.

Why the Race Has Added Stakes Beyond the Individual
The Golden Boot in the NWFL Premiership is not simply a personal honour. In Nigerian women’s football, scoring records and individual titles translate directly into visibility for national team selectors, for club interest from stronger leagues, and for the kind of recognition that shapes careers in the medium term. Doosuur, Uwah, and Adegbuyi are all players at stages of their careers where the highest profile individual award in the domestic women’s game carries tangible professional consequences beyond the trophy itself.
The race also adds another layer of narrative to a Super Six that already has a compelling title story running through it. Edo Queens and Nasarawa Amazons are locked in the title race with Robo Queens and Rivers Angels still mathematically capable of forcing their way into contention across the final rounds. The combination of a tight title race and a close Golden Boot competition makes every match in Port Harcourt meaningful on at least two simultaneous levels for club and for individual. That is the definition of a competition that has delivered on its promise. Two matchdays remain. Three goals separate four players. Everything is still to play for.

📌 Did You Know?
- Atume Doosuur entered the 2025-26 NWFL Super Six as the regular season’s leading scorer and has maintained that position through the playoff rounds, making her the most consistent individual goal threat of the entire campaign from start to finish.
- Abasiofon Uwah scored twice for Rivers Angels on Super Six Matchday One, representing one of the strongest individual opening-round performances of the playoff phase and establishing her as the most immediate challenger to Doosuur’s Golden Boot lead from the competition’s very first fixtures in Port Harcourt.
- Oluwakemi Adegbuyi’s Super Six contribution includes both a nominee appearance in the Matchday Two Top Performer poll and her winner impact goal in Robo Queens’ Matchday Three victory over Nasarawa Amazons the result that ended the Amazons’ unbeaten run and shifted the title narrative in Port Harcourt.
- The NWFL Premiership Golden Boot winner is determined by the total goals scored across both the regular season and the Super Six playoff rounds, meaning all goals from the opening matchday of the season count toward the final tally. This gives a striker consistent form from September through June a natural advantage over one who peaks only in the playoff phase.
- Edo Queens, who have two players among the Super Six Golden Boot contenders, have scored the most goals of any club in the playoff rounds, having netted ten across their first four matchdays including the 6-2 demolition of Abia Angels on Matchday Three, which remains the highest-scoring single result of the entire Super Six.
- Rivers Angels, Uwah’s club, have endured a difficult Super Six campaign results wise despite her individual output, having won only one of their four matchdays. That disconnect between personal form and club results is one of the more common storylines in women’s domestic football, where a forward’s productivity can outpace what the wider team manages to deliver around her.
- The NWFL Premiership has produced several seasons in which the Golden Boot race extended to the final matchday, making the competition one of the more dramatically concluded individual awards in Nigerian domestic football. The current three goal gap between the leader and third place entering the last two rounds places this season firmly in that tradition.
