Imo Strikers, Queen FC, target NWPL qualification

Posted : 03 July 2023
Ahead of the 2022/23 Nigeria Women Football League Championship, Owerri-based side, Queens FC is confident of booking one of the tickets to the Nigeria Women Premier League

Imo Strikers who are the champions of the Nigeria Women Football Nation Wide League in their first season during the 2022 season, believe they have what it takes to grab one of the available tickets to the top flight of the Nigeria Women League.

Reacting to the tournament billed for Friday, July 7th in Ijebu Ode, Coach of the team, Nelly Orisakwe expressed readiness on the part of her team.

According to her "Queens FC is fully ready just like every other team who have registered for this championship.

"We are aware of the competition from other teams going into this tournament, but one thing is certain.

"We are not going to Ijebu Ode to make up numbers. We are going there to fight for the ticket to the Nigeria Women Premier League."

The Coach noted that there was no pressure on the team being the champion of the Nation, a feast achieved in their first appearance in women football. 

"We are not under any pressure. Every team going into this tournament has a chance to pick the tickets. 

"We respect every other team but we are not scared of any of them, not even the big names. 

"Football is a 90-minute game, it's either you win, draw or loose. The organizers should just make it a level-playing ground for everyone. 

"Women Football is growing faster in Nigeria and we will continue to give our best to ensure our football gets to its higher target," she concluded.

Queens FC won the last edition of the Nigeria Women Nation Wide League in their first outing in Women Football. 

They won the 2023 Sheroes Cup Preseason Tournament organized for Championship teams in Abuja, and will be looking forward to another experience in the Championship.
