Bayelsa Queens Crowned 2025 NWFL Champions, Receive ₦400,000 Bonus & Government Reception
Bayelsa Queens have once again proven their dominance in Nigerian women’s football by clinching the 2025 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) title — their sixth league championship in history. The Prosperity Girls sealed the crown in style, thrashing Naija Ratels 4-1 in a thrilling final playoff encounter in Ikenne on Saturday.
Champions Rewarded with ₦400,000 Bonus
In recognition of their outstanding performance, each player and official of the victorious squad was rewarded with ₦400,000 — a gesture that reflects the state’s commitment to encouraging women's football excellence.
Beyond the cash prize, the Bayelsa State government has promised a heroic reception in Yenagoa, where the team will be hosted and celebrated by fans, stakeholders, and top officials.
A Historic Sixth Title
Under the guidance of tactician Whyte Ogbonda, Bayelsa Queens finished top of the NWFL Super Six playoff standings with 10 points from five games, showcasing a fine blend of tactical strength, speed, and clinical finishing.
“This victory is for Bayelsa, for our fans, and for every girl who dreams of playing football in Nigeria,” Coach Ogbonda remarked after the match.
The Road Ahead: WAFU B Champions League Awaits
The triumph not only comes with glory at home but also a ticket to represent Nigeria at the WAFU B Champions League later this year. All eyes will now be on the Prosperity Girls as they aim to make a mark beyond national borders.
Our Take: Victory for Football, Victory for Representation
Bayelsa Queens' win is more than a football success — it's a victory for the visibility of women in sports, particularly in a country where female athletes often receive less attention and support than their male counterparts.
The Bayelsa State government’s reward and upcoming state reception are commendable, setting an example for other states to follow. Investing in women’s football pays off — in titles, pride, and societal impact.
Final Word
With six titles and counting, Bayelsa Queens continue to set the pace and rewrite the narrative of women's football in Nigeria. As they gear up for regional glory at WAFU B, one thing is certain — the Prosperity Girls are not just champions; they are trailblazers.
