C2E Sports Academy were crowned champions of the 2026 Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) Nationwide after defeating Obosa Queens FA 2-1 in an entertaining final at the Enyimba Stadium, Aba, on Sunday, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The victory brought the curtain down on the 2025/2026 NWFL season and completed the league’s three-tier calendar following the conclusion of the Premiership and Championship competitions.

The Nationwide championship, held from August 16 to 23 at the Enyimba Stadium, featured 12 clubs battling for promotion while providing a competitive platform for emerging female footballers to showcase their talents.

C2E Sports Academy made a commanding start to the final, taking the lead in the 11th minute through Agnes Ohuche before Nina Ude doubled their advantage in the 30th minute.

Obosa Queens responded almost immediately after the restart, with Saidat Idowu pulling a goal back in the 47th minute. C2E, however, remained composed under pressure and held on to secure the historic victory.

The result also confirmed promotion for both finalists, with C2E Sports Academy and Obosa Queens FA earning places in the NWFL Championship for the 2026/2027 season.

NWFL Chief Operating Officer Modupe Shabi described the successful staging of the competition as another significant step in the development of women’s football in Nigeria.

Shabi commended the participating clubs and stakeholders for their efforts, while expressing appreciation to the Abia State Government and the Abia State Football Association for their support and hospitality throughout the tournament.

“We are delighted with the success of the NWFL Nationwide 2026. The competition has shown that there is enormous talent across the country and that, with the right structure and opportunities, these young women can develop into the stars of tomorrow,” Shabi said.

She added: “I would like to sincerely appreciate the Abia State Government and its Football Association for the tremendous support and hospitality extended to the NWFL, the participating clubs and everyone involved in the championship.

“Hosting a competition of this magnitude requires strong institutional support, and Abia State demonstrated that commitment.”

Reflecting on the 2025/2026 season, Shabi also praised the clubs, players, coaches, match officials, medical teams, volunteers, media organisations and partners whose contributions helped deliver the Premiership, Championship and Nationwide competitions.

“It has been a long and demanding season, but together we have continued to strengthen the structure and pathway for women’s football in Nigeria,” she said.

The NWFL congratulated C2E Sports Academy on their championship triumph and Obosa Queens FA on their impressive campaign, while welcoming both clubs to the Championship division for the new season
