Thursday, 16 April 2026, 16:14 · 1 min read

Nigeria's Women Football League (NWFL) has suspended two players following a violent altercation that broke out after a Premiership match in Ado Ekiti on 15 April. The incident occurred moments after Ekiti Queens defeated Pacesetter Queens 2-0 at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, when players Teslimot Balogun and Busari Suliyat became embroiled in a confrontation serious enough to draw official sanctions. Both players have been handed two-match bans, with NWFL Chief Operating Officer Modupe Shabi warning that violent conduct will be met with firm disciplinary action to protect the integrity of the league.
