The Makwada Stadium in Numan, a location 70 kilometres north of the Adamawa State capital, Yola, is now to be the home ground for the state female football club, Adamawa Queens FC.
The Nigeria Women Football League, NWFL, has announced the venue change, marking a fresh chapter for the team in the 2024/2025 NWFL Premiership Season.
The League specified in an official letter that Adamawa Queens FC will now play its home matches at Makwada Stadium effective from the second stanza of the season.
The directive, signed by NWFL Chief Operating Officer, Modupe Shabi, and addressed to all Premiership clubs, said the new arrangement takes immediate effect, starting with the upcoming Match No. 61, where Adamawa Queens FC will face Rivers Angels on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
The move to Makwada Stadium is seen as a strategic step for Adamawa Queens, a welcome change from the Patami Stadium in Gombe, a place more than 250 kilometres from Yola, which the Adamawa Queens had been using as home ground before now.
The team is guided by Justin Madugu, who also serves as the National coach for the Falconets.
Adamawa’s male football team, Adamawa United FC, also previosly hosting opponents in Gombe, is now also to play its home matches at the newly refurbished Makwada Stadium, Numan
