Women football in Nigeria on sharp decline – Zira

A former chairman of Adamawa Queens and Adamawa United, Emmanuel Zira, has lamented that women football development in Nigeria has drastically declined in the past few years.

The football administrator said lack of professional approach, transparency and nonchalant attitude by the league administrators was responsible for the decline in Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL).

He, therefore, disagreed with the chairperson of the NWFL and board member of the NFF, Aisha Falode, who had claimed that women football had made developmental changes.

SPONSOR AD

“Without any form of sentiment, women football in Nigeria has dwindled so much. I don’t really know why the administrators are just engaging in media hype which does no one any good.

“The entire stakeholders are watching and they know what is happening. Forget the media and publicity stunts here and there. Anyone can print banners, flyers and even stickers to say whatever he or she likes, but the reality is that the gains made in the administration of women football in the past have been destroyed.

“Everywhere in the World, football thrives on accountability and openness. For instance, you can’t be running a league and not disclose your earnings or support in form of sponsorship or otherwise and you expect to grow and have integrity.

“They announced sponsors and the details of the sponsorship are shrouded in secrecy. They promised participating clubs during the just concluded Super Six tournament that they will get a paltry amount after forcing them to wear specific branded jerseys. Where is that done? It’s wrong. Why sign a contract without disclosure,” he queried.
