Players and officials of six-time Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) champions, Rivers Angels, have called on the club’s supporters to come out in their numbers as they play host to Delta Queens in the last group game of the season at the Yakubu Gowon stadium, on Wednesday.
The Jewel of Rivers are currently top of Group A with 10 points and need a win to secure a spot in this season’s NWFL Super 4.
Team Captain, Charity John made a direct appeal to the fans to show up, not only to watch the beautiful game of football, but add vociferous support to the Angels’ quest.
John, while calling on the fans, was equally optimistic that the Jewel of Rivers would nick all the three points on offer on Wednesday.
“In order for us to qualify for the Super 4, our expectation as a team is nothing short of victory,” John said.
“We’ve always made the good people of Rivers State proud and will keep doing it. Since this is our last game of the season, we are appealing to our fans to come out and cheer us to victory,” she added.
Team manager of Rivers Angels, Matilda Oyiloha Micheal, added that Wednesday’s game is a very crucial one and the team needs all the support they can get from the fans.
“The tension is very high as it stands right now because all the teams in the group are working on their different strategies to ensure qualification,” Oyiloha said.
