Nigeria’s representatives to the 2025 WAFU-B Schools Football Championship will emerge on Friday.
The WAFU-B championship will serve as a qualifying tournament for next year’s CAF African Schools Football Championship.
The Nigerian qualifying matches are being played at the FIFA Goal Project inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium and the Area 3 Football Pitch, with representative teams of the FCT, Adamawa, Gombe and Lagos States involved in the female category.
The FCT, Kaduna, Delta, Enugu, Ekiti and Taraba States are represented in the male category.
The winner-school in each category will represent Nigeria at the WAFU-B Schools Football Championship which will be held in Burkina Faso from 27th – 30th November 2025. The names of the winner-schools will be adopted while exceptional players from other schools will be co-opted to form a ‘Schools National Team.’
Successful schools at the WAFU-B tournament will join other qualifiers from the CECAF, UNAF UNIFFAC and WAFU-A regions at next year’s CAF African Schools Football Championship.
