As teams prepare for the start of the NWFL 2020/2021 season, FC Robo has been tipped to win the newly formatted League scheduled to start in September/October.
FC Robo defender, Habibat Akinwande in an with the NWFL media says the team had what it takes to win the league.
“Playing in a straight league could be tasking, but I believe we have to take each game one at a time.”
“Though we haven’t started training because of the effect of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic, we left the camp with a very strong mentality and belief that we can achieve something great anytime the league kicks off.” She added.
The player who helped Osun Babes survive relegation last season said the team has a big target for the new season.
“Our aim, our dream is to do well in the league and probably qualify to play in the maiden edition of the CAF Women Champions League. That would be a tall dream and one is feasible for us at FC Robo Queens.”
The NWFL had been playing in an abridged format since 2013 but Akinwande lauded the NWFL authorities for reversing the format.
“I am glad that the leadership of the NWFL and the club owners agreed to play a straight league next season.”
According to a statement from NFF, the new football league season will kick start between September and October but subject to Federal Government approval.
