The new league format now stands as the highest level of competition in women’s football, while the regional leagues will serve as the lower divisions.

The National Women’s League was officially launched on Friday at the Lekidi Football Centre and features regional champions alongside five runners-up who qualified through promotional playoffs.

A total of 10 teams are competing in each of the northern and southern Streams. The competition marks the return of a national women’s league structure, 10 years after the dissolution of the Super League in 2016.
