Sports247 reports that the competition will take place from June 5 to 14, 2026 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, where Nigeria’s top six women’s football clubs will battle for the league title.

Speaking on the development, NWFL Chief Operating Officer, Modupe Shabi, commended the Rivers State Government for its continued support to the development of women’s football.

“On behalf of the NWFL management, we are delighted to announce Port Harcourt as the host of the 2026 NWFL Premiership Super Six Finals,” he said.

“The Rivers State Government has consistently demonstrated strong support for women’s football and we are excited to return with our flagship competition.”

The tournament will feature the top three teams from both regular season pools competing in a round-robin format over nine days.

Teams qualified for the championship include defending champions Bayelsa Queens FC, Edo Queens FC, Rivers Angels FC, FC Robo Queens, Nasarawa Amazons and debutants Abia Angels FC.

The NWFL Premiership has witnessed different champions in recent seasons, with Rivers Angels, Bayelsa Queens, Delta Queens and Edo Queens lifting the title in the last five editions.

Shabi also urged participating clubs to maintain professionalism and comply with all competition guidelines ahead of the championship.

The Super Six tournament will determine Nigeria’s league champions and the country’s representative for the WAFU-B qualifiers ahead of the CAF Women’s Champions League and FIFA Women’s Club Championship 2027.
