The Ogun State Chapter of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has called on Egba sons and daughters, philanthropists, football lovers and concerned stakeholders in Abeokuta to support the only female football team in the Nigerian Women Football League (NWFL) to attain greatness in the elite football league.
Castmog Ladies Football Club became the first female football team from Abeokuta to play in the NWFL after gaining promotion from the second tier of the league in 2024/2025 season marking a historic milestone in the club’s inspiring journey through the ranks of Nigerian women’s football.
Just three years ago, the resilient Abeokuta-based side was competing in the third-tier league during the 2022/2023 season. Through sheer determination, teamwork, and an unyielding fighting spirit, they earned promotion to the second tier that same year. Now, following another impressive campaign, the Castmog Ladies have achieved their long-awaited dream, a place in Nigeria’s top-flight women’s league.
For the players, coaches, and fans, this achievement represents more than just football success it’s a story of passion, perseverance, and community pride.
SWAN, in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Friday by its Secretary, Olusegun Folarin commended the club’s owner, Prince Adeyinka Adeniyi, for driving the team’s steady growth, expressed immense joy and gratitude over the landmark achievement.
“This promotion means alot for the growth of women football. This feat will boost the growing force of Ogun State in both nale and female football in the country with Remo Stars Ladies also playing in the NWFL this season.
“It’s been a journey of hard work, sacrifice, and belief. Now that they’ve made it to the big league, we’re calling on the public, corporate organizations, and football lovers to support Castmog in ensuring a smooth and competitive debut season.”
SWAN further highlighted that the club’s mission extends beyond competition, it’s about empowering young women across Ogun State and Nigeria by providing them with opportunities to develop their talent and build meaningful careers in football.
As the Castmog Ladies prepare for their NWFL 2025/2026 season debut, they carry with them the hopes of Abeokuta and a powerful message that dreams, when fueled by passion and perseverance, truly take flight.
