The NWFL Premiership (formerly Nigeria Women Premier League) is the top-level league for women's association football in Nigeria.[1][2] It is the women's equivalent of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) for male players.[3][4] The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) organizes the Nigeria Women Premier League and the Nigeria Women Pro-league. In November 2017, Aisha Falode was elected chairperson of the league board, and was officially designated in January 2017.[5]
