The Nigeria Women’s Football League, NWFL, has announced the date for resumption of its league matches nationwide.
According to a statement by the NWFL media team, the league chairperson, Aisha Falode, said the league will commence February 10.
“We cannot afford to wait any longer. The league will resume on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, going into Week 5 out of 26 weeks to be played with a total of 182 matches,” she said.
The women’s league went on one month suspension in January following widespread reports that clubs were violating the COVID-19 protocols.
Falode noted that the season would now resume after all the 14 clubs had complied with the COVID-19 preventive protocols, which were established before the commencement of the league on December 9, 2020.
She said, “Though there are a number of positive tests from the results, the affected clubs have been instructed to keep these players out of the team’s camp and replace them with other players who tested negative.
“The clubs are supposed to monitor these positive cases and ensure proper treatment and isolation until they come out with a clean bill of health.
“After the treatment regime, a fresh test must be conducted and results submitted showing the negative status of the affected players before they can return to the league.”
