The Nigeria Women Football League, NWFL, has announced a temporary suspension of the ongoing 2025-26 league season.
The decision was reached following a petition to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, by one of the clubs affected by the ongoing U-20 national team camping.
The club has seen more than five of its players called up, thereby compromising its ability to compete fairly.
The NWFL is expected to resume on Wednesday, 18 February 2026.
The NWFL stated this in a memo signed by the Chief Operating Officer, Modupe Shabi and sent to all the participating clubs on Thursday.
According to the memo, only a one-week mid-season break will be observed, clubs have also been provided with updated fixtures reflecting the revised timeline and are expected to comply accordingly.
Bayelsa Queens and FC Robo Queens are top of the NWFL Group A and B respectively.
