The NWFL Board, under the leadership of Ms. Nkechi Obi, has launched the Women Football Rising initiative.
The initiative was birthed with supporting campaigns such as Sisterhood©, He4She©, Football and the Girl Child©, and Class to Pitch©.
The He4She© Campaign” is a transformative movement that aims to unite influential men in Nigeria to support and empower women’s football.
The “Sisterhood© Campaign” is aimed at harnessing the collective power of women across professions, businesses, religious, social, and cultural groups to empower women’s football.
The “Football and the Girl Child© Campaign”, is also an initiative that seeks to engage communities in the six geo-political zones of Nigeria and the FCT to promote the safety, security, inclusivity, and personal development of the girl child through grassroots football.
There is also the “Class to Pitch©”, which is a collaboration with the Sports Business Institute. It aims to train more professionals in the women’s football ecosystem (coaches, referees, etc.).
The Sisterhood and He4She boards have been inaugurated, and partnering organizations like the International Organization for Migrations, Nigeria, and Sustainable Sports Africa shared goodwill messages.
