The Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt is set to host the thrilling conclusion of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership season, as the top six teams battle it out for the coveted title and a spot in the WAFU B Women's Champions League qualifiers. The highly anticipated NWFL Premiership Super 6 kicks off today, Saturday, June 7, 2026, following months of intense regular-season competition.

Defending champions Bayelsa Queens enter the tournament as strong favorites, having topped Group A with an impressive 37 points. The 'Prosperity Girls' are aiming for their seventh league crown and to become the first team since 2021 to retain the NWFL Premiership trophy. They will rely on the experience and talent of players like Ifeanyi Kindness, Aminat Folorunsho, Sofiat Bankole, Vera Samuel, and Dooshima Tarmun to secure their title defense. Bayelsa Queens are a prominent and consistent force in the playoffs, having won the title twice in the last six seasons (2022 and 2025). [5, 29]

Joining Bayelsa Queens in the championship round are familiar powerhouses Rivers Angels and Edo Queens, both seeking to add to their rich trophy cabinets. Rivers Angels, seven-time champions, bring a wealth of experience and a pedigree for performing under pressure. Edo Queens, who claimed their maiden title in 2024, are determined to reclaim the summit after a strong regular season performance that saw them finish second in Group A with 36 points. They boast a blend of experience and attacking firepower, led by league top scorer Atume Doosuur, who netted 12 goals in the regular season. [2, 18, 28]

The Super 6 tournament will adopt a round-robin format, where every point will be crucial. With no room for error and championship ambitions on the line, this edition promises to be one of the most fiercely contested in recent memory. The ultimate prize, beyond the NWFL Premiership title, is the honor of representing Nigeria in the WAFU B Women's Champions League qualifiers. [2, 23]
