The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Championship Matchday 13 encounter between Sunshine Queens and Ahudianynem Queens has been officially pushed back to Friday morning. High-intensity weather conditions at the Akure Township Stadium made continued play impossible, prompting officials to suspend the fixture. The game was halted just seven minutes after the opening whistle, with both sides locked in a scoreless stalemate at the time of the interruption.
The league has confirmed that the remaining duration of the contest will be completed starting at 8:00 AM on Friday. This delay adds a layer of tension to a fixture that carries significant weight for both organizations, as they are currently embroiled in a high-stakes struggle to maintain their status within the NWFL. Every minute of the rescheduled play will be vital for their survival hopes in the division.
Currently, the Akure-based Sunshine Queens find themselves in ninth place within the Group B standings, trailing just behind Ahudianynem Queens, who hold the eighth position. With both teams desperate to distance themselves from the bottom of the table, the conclusion of this match on Friday morning will be a decisive factor in their respective campaigns to avoid the drop.
