In a bid to uphold the principles of fair play and ensure competitive integrity, the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has announced a simultaneous kick-off for two crucial fixtures on the final day of regular season.
The encounter between Naija Ratels FC and Bayelsa Queens FC in Abuja, and game between FC Robo Queens and Delta Queens FC in Lagos, will now both kick off at 3:00pm on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
The directive was conveyed in an official memo signed by NWFL Chief Operating Officer, Modupe Shabi, and circulated to the concerned clubs as well as the Lagos State and FCT Football Associations to facilitate seamless coordination and compliance.
“This adjustment is essential to preserve the spirit of fairness and maintain the integrity of the competition,” Shabi stated.

“Simultaneous kick-offs ensure that no team gains undue advantage based on the outcome of another match.”
With one final ticket up for grabs in the 2025 NWFL Premiership Super Six, both Robo Queens and Naija Ratels are locked in a high-stakes battle for qualification as third placed team from Group B.
Robo Queens, in their 10th consecutive season in the topflight, are seeking a return to the Super Six for the first time since 2023.
Naija Ratels, meanwhile, are aiming to secure their second appearance in three seasons, having made a memorable debut in 2022 by qualifying in their first Premiership campaign.
The eventual third place side will join defending champions Edo Queens, Bayelsa Queens, Rivers Angels, Nasarawa Amazons, and Remo Stars Ladies in the Super Six lineup—setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling climax to the season.
