All is now set for the 2022 Sheroes Cup, a pre-season tournament mainly for club sides featuring in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL).
As at last count, over eight NWFL clubs have confirmed their readiness to participate as the organisers put finishing touches to plans.
The fixtures for the tournament have been released, and four matches will be decided each day.
In the opening game, Adamawa Queens will battle Royal Queens by 8am today. The game between Confluence Queens and Nasarawa Amazons will follow thereafter at 10am.
Same day by 2pm, it will be Delta Queens versus Naija Ratels. The match between Edo and Heartland Queens will then happen, starting from 4pm.
Just before the commencement of the second edition, it was rebranded as “Flying Officers Cup” to honor and immortalize the recently deceased Nigeria first-ever female combat helicopter pilot, Tolulope Arotile.
In 2021, there was a hundred percent increase in the prize money from the 2020 edition. The first, second, third and fourth placed teams received ₦1,000,000, ₦500,000, ₦300,000 and ₦200,000 respectively. In October 2022, it was renamed to “Sheroes Cup”.
