The Board of the FCT Football Association has approved the proposal of its Women Football Development Committee to organize a pre-season football tournament for League clubs in country.

Quoting her words, the legal practitioner said : “ We intend to involve only ten teams which would be on first come, first serve basis.
“We are extending invitations to teams like Rivers Angels, Sunshine Queens, Confluence Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, COD Angels, Kolo Amazons, Abia Angels, Delta Queens, Capital City Doves, Bayelsa Queens, Beautiful Tours Angels, State House Angels among others.
“A time deadline would be given to them to signify their interest to participate, after which, other interested teams would take their place.

Barrister Nlemigbo further revealed that trophies and souvenirs would be given out at the end of the tournament, which would now be a yearly programme.
