The Super Six will bring together the top three teams from Group A and Group B of the regular season, competing in a round-robin format over nine days. Each team will play five matches, with the final standings determining the league champion. The participating clubs for the 2026 edition include reigning champions Bayelsa Queens, Edo Queens, Rivers Angels, Robo Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, and Abia Angels, who are making their debut in the finals.
The NWFL Premiership has seen a rotation of champions in recent years, with Rivers Angels winning in 2021, Bayelsa Queens claiming titles in 2022 and 2025, Delta Queens in 2023, and Edo Queens in 2024. This diversity in winners sets the stage for a highly competitive and unpredictable title race in 2026. Shabi emphasized the importance of professionalism and compliance from all clubs, urging them to follow competition regulations and schedules as communicated by the league.
The Super Six is not only the pinnacle of the NWFL season but also serves as the qualifier for Nigeria’s representative at the WAFU-B Women’s Champions League qualifiers. The winner will earn a spot in the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League, with the ultimate goal of competing in the 2027 FIFA Women’s Club Championship. Shabi expressed confidence that the fans in Port Harcourt will create an electrifying atmosphere, adding to the tournament’s prestige and excitement.
With the stage set in Rivers State, the 2026 NWFL Super Six promises to be a landmark event in Nigerian women’s football, showcasing talent, determination, and the growing popularity of the sport across the country.
