The 2024/25 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership Super Six enters a critical phase as Matchday Three approaches, with teams continuing to jostle for glory on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 at the Remo Stars Stadium, in Ikenne.
In the spotlight on Tuesday are Naija Ratels and Edo Queens, as the early kickoff by 9 am, two sides are still searching for a breakthrough in the tournament after faltering in their opening two matches.

Both teams will be eager to secure their first win of the Super Six to stay in contention for the title.
