Former Green Eagles’ winger, now a sports scientist, Adegoke Adelabu, is sad over the ‘failure’ of those managing the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) to secure a lead sponsor for the game, despite its rising profile globally.

“I am not surprised at the lack of sponsorship for our women football league because it is only a well packaged league that will attract sponsors,” Adelabu told The Guardian.

That was in 2018 before Sunday Dare was brought in to replace Dalung by ex-President, Muhammadu Buhari. From the days of Princess Bola Jegede to Alhaja Ayo Omidiran, Dilichukwu Onyedinma and the immediate past board led by Aisha Falode, the nation’s women football league was without any lead sponsor.To a large extent, the ‘no sponsorship’ for the women league reduced the dominance of the Super Falcons, the Falconets and Flamingoes in African continent under the Pinnick-led NFF board, with the Falcons becoming a laughingstock, losing to relatively unknown teams in Africa.

“A well packaged program will attract sponsors who are ready to identify with the organisational structure and aspirations of the federation. “When sponsors don’t have value for their money, they are bound to decline sponsorship. When they perceive unseriousness in the goals of the federation they will pocket their funds for important things.
