Also speaking, Dannaz Ladies coach, Bashiru Fatai, said the competition has helped them to discover areas where they will focus and make needed corrections before the League kick-off.

“Amazingly, the competition has also thrown up lots of talents as well as revealed  that the FCT Football Association is supportive of women football development in Nigeira. We will continue to partner with the FCT FA which indeed is one of the best football associations in Nigeria.”

The RSDF boss announced and made N2 million payments to the winning and the rest of participating clubs.

From the total amount, the overall winners got N700,000, while the runners up and third place sides smiled home with N300,000 and N200,000 respectively.

A total of N400,000 was shared among the other other six participating teams at the end of the competition.

The Foundation also gave N50,000 each, totaling N400,000 as feeding  allowance in the beginning of the tournament to all teams.

A member of RSDF board of Trustees, Barr. Nicholas Elechi, donated N300,000, being part of prize money handed over to the overall winners.

The Foundation also gave a set of jerseys and five balls each to all participating clubs.
