‘DreamStar Ladies poised to pick NWFL Premiership slot’ – Orji Beatrice


DreamStar FC Ladies player Orji Beatrice has revealed that her side in determined to pick one of two promotion tickets at the end of the 2023 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Championship.

The Galacticas dropped to the second-tier NWFL Championship at the end of the 2021/2022 season but narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premiership last season by a point.

Despite the last season’s disappointment, the playmaker is eager to inspire her side to success in the Championship this year.

“This season, all matches we approach must be a win because just a point didn’t let us qualify for the Premiership last season,” Orji told theNWFL.com.

“All matches we are going be play must be a win. That’s the target. The pride of Lagos are ready to secure the Premiership slot with determination and focus.”

Ibom Angels gained promotion at the club’s expense with eight points ahead of DreamStar’s seven points and Orji scored one of the deciding goal as they edged Oasis FC 2-1 in one of the games.

“We’re good to go. We are all determined to secure the promotion that’s our main target and goal,” she continued.

“Like I said, securing the promotion to the NWFL Premiership is the main target.”

The 2023 season will be the Lagos-based side’s second campaign in the Championship and they will seek to returned to the top-flight after its consecutive year adventure in the second division.
