Osun Babes face possible relegation over alleged contract breach
A major shockwave is rippling through the NWFL Premiership, with Osun Babes facing the real possibility of relegation following an alleged breach of contract.
While club officials have remained tight-lipped, sources familiar with the situation indicate that the Nigeria Women’s Football League is considering serious disciplinary measures, which could ultimately see the Osun-based side dropped from the top flight.
According to insiders, the alleged breach is viewed as significant and severe enough to attract heavy sanctions under league regulations. Although no official ruling has been announced, Osun Babes are understood to be among clubs currently under scrutiny as the NWFL intensifies its enforcement of compliance standards.
The development brings back memories of ahead of this season’s relegation of Castmog Ladies, who were demoted after failing to meet registration requirements — a clear indication that the NWFL maintains a zero-tolerance approach to administrative and contractual violations.
The league has reportedly issued warnings to several clubs, including Osun Babes, urging them to regularise their documentation and contractual obligations or face disciplinary action.
A formal statement from the NWFL is expected in the coming days as investigations continue.
