The Nigeria Women Football League on Wednesday said it has removed three clubs from the Premier and Professional Leagues for breach of the rules and regulations governing the competitions.
Ayo Abdulrahaman, the Executive Secretary of the NWFL, said in Abuja that the Ad hoc Committee governing the NWFL has already communicated this decision to the affected clubs.
Abdulrahaman said a letter intimating the Nigeria Football Federation of the decision had also been sent to the NFF General Secretary.
The NWFL Executive Secretary listed the clubs as Tokas Queens, Capital City Doves and State House Queens.
While Tokas Queens and Capital City Doves campaigned in the Premier League, State House Queens played in the Professional League.
Abdulrahaman said: “I have the directive of the league’s Ad-hoc Committee Chairman to inform the Federation of some league clubs which have lost their positions due to their failure to honour three matches in the current season.
“This loss of position is supported by Article 4.2 paragraphs 1 and 5 of the 2015/2016 Nigeria Women Football League rules, and they are therefore out of the league.”
