Chairperson, Board of Nigeria Women Football League, Aishat Falode said that domestic Leagues remains a veritable platform for local players to compete favourably with their foreign counterparts.
Falode, while fielding questions from journalists in Lagos immediately after the Super 4 final between Nasarawa Amazons and Bayelsa Queens where Bayelsa Queens detroned the defending Champions by 2-0 at Agege Soccer Temple.
“The job of the board of NWPL is to create a platform for home based players to compete favourablly with their foreign counterparts and bring out the best in them”
Reacting to sponsorship and branding of the league, Edo State administrator said; “consistency is key. We played a regular season devoid of worked over, we played a competitive Season, we also played a league that has Super 4 where best teams compete and I’m sure, you journalists would have seen some new players today just like how six or seven players made the cut to the national team and won nation’s cup for Nigeria in Ghana.
The two goals scored today are archival goals which cannot be wished away and it requires a player with sound mind to put such a goal into the back of the net. We promised innovation, good officiating, discipline and we promised that fans would return to the stands which we have all witnessed. Certainly, the sustainace would compel sponsors to associate with us
Fair skinned oratory administrator added that no national teams can be sustainable without a regeneration and creation of new players on domestic scene and the platform to do that is the domestic league which is key for football development.
Nigeria league is blessed with tremendous potentials and we have all witnessed it and I must give kudos to the NFF who gave us enable environment to thrive, also you journalists,fans and of course my visionary members of the board for the job well done”
