Bayelsa will host the Nigeria Women Football League Super Six playoffs, DAILY POST reports.

The NWFL confirmed the news on their social media handle on Tuesday.

The championship playoff will run from May 18 to 26, 2024, at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa.

“On behalf of the board and management of the NWFL, let me congratulate Bayelsa State for being selected as the hosts for the NWFL Premiership Super Six,” NWFL chairman Nkechi Obi stated.

“We hope this opportunity to host a great Super Six will further boost women’s football in Bayelsa and raise the sport’s profile in Nigeria.”

This will be the first time that the NWFL Premiership playoff tournament will be hosted by Bayelsa State.

Yenagoa is also the home ground of Bayelsa Queens, which had a memorable 2022 NWFL Premiership campaign where they famously won the domestic title, WAFU-B playoff and eventually finished third at the 2022 CAF Women’s Champions League held in Morocco.

The playoff will be played in a round-robin format, with each participating team playing five matches in the race for the coveted title.

The winner will represent Nigeria in the CAF Women’s Champions League next season.
