Organized by the FCT Football Association through its Women’s Football Committee, the tournament’s maiden edition is designed to promote talent discovery and gender inclusion in football across all six Area Councils.

In the opening fixtures, AMAC recorded a 2-0 victory over Bwari at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Practice Pitch, while Kwali triumphed with a 9-1 win over Abaji at the Abaji Football Pitch.

Speaking as special guest after the kickoff match at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Mr. Kayode Adeniyi, General Manager of NTA Sports, lauded the initiative.

“This tournament is a bold and timely intervention in the effort to give the girl-child a voice through sport. What we are witnessing is not just football—it’s social impact, community building, and youth engagement rolled into one,” former Chairman of FCT SWAN said.

“Special commendation goes to Pat Ajuma Ayegba for her innovation and personal investment in girl-child talent development.

Her passion and drive have not only birthed this historic tournament but have also revived the long-dormant FCT FA Women’s Football League. She’s changing the narrative.

“I also call on the media to throw their weight fully behind this initiative. These girls deserve the spotlight just as much as any other athletes.”

Patrick Bassey, FCT FA Board Member and Chairman of the Technical Committee, praised the quality of play and emphasized the long-term vision.

“We saw not just goals today but glimpses of future stars. The FCT FA remains committed to building a strong foundation for women’s football through structured competitions like this. The technical team is closely monitoring talents that can progress to the league and national level,” Bassey said.
