Naija Ratels coach Bankole Olowookere, who is also the coach of the Nigeria U-17 female team is enthusiastic of his team's chances as the Nigeria Women's Football League (NWFL) Premiership season is set to start.
He had won an historic bronze in India at the FIFA Women's U-17 World Cup, but now sets his eyes on winning with the Ratels from Abuja.
“As a coach, I always want to win every tournament I participate in. It’s not enough to talk about it but to act and achieve such a goal through preparation,” Olowookere told Brila FM.
“After gaining promotion to the NWFL Premiership and qualifying for the Super Six in our first season which was last season, we need to set another standard for Naija Ratels as a team.
“The next target is for the team to reach the Super Six once again and attempt to win the league. Winning the league will qualify us for next year’s CAF Women’s Champions League which is our target and dream as a team.”
In his debut season, Naija Ratels FC had done well to qualify for the 2022 NWFL Premiership Super Six during.
Unfortunately the team lost all five games at the Super Six in Benin City, Edo State.
The League starts November 30th, 2022 and Naija Ratels will begin their campaign at home against Heartland Queens.
