OWERRI/Nigeria: In a surprising turn of events, the eagerly anticipated opening fixture of the 2023/2024 Nigerian Women’s Football League between Heartland Queens FC of Owerri and Royal Queens FC of Warri has been rescheduled. Originally slated for Thursday, the clash has been moved up a day to Wednesday, the 15th of November 2023, with kick-off set for 1:00 pm at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri.
This adjustment was communicated officially by the league organizers through a memorandum distributed to all participating clubs, mandating that league matches be held on Wednesday instead of the initially specified Thursday.
Heartland Queens Media can confirm this change, emphasizing the importance of the match being played on the rescheduled date. The team extends a warm invitation to their fervent supporters, urging them to turn out in large numbers to rally behind the Queens as they embark on their 2023/24 NWFL campaign with high hopes.
Notably, the schedule reshuffle doesn’t only affect the women’s team; it resonates across the Heartland football community.
