NWFL Premiership Golden Boot Race Ends in Deadlock as Abasi Ofofon Uwah and Atume Doosuur Share Top Scorer Award with 13 Goals Each

The 2025/2026 NWFL Premiership season has delivered a thrilling climax to its attacking charts as two outstanding forwards—Abasi Ofofon Uwah of Rivers Angels and Atume Doosuur of Edo Queens—have officially been crowned joint top scorers.

Both players finished the season with an impressive 13 goals apiece, underlining their consistency, sharp finishing, and importance to their respective clubs throughout a fiercely competitive campaign.

Shared Glory at the Summit of the Goal Chart

The race for the league’s Golden Boot went down to the wire, but neither striker could be separated after the final round of fixtures in the NWFL Premiership season.

• Abasi Ofofon Uwah (Rivers Angels) showcased her attacking instincts all season long, leading the line with precision and power.

• Atume Doosuur (Edo Queens) matched that excellence with her own remarkable consistency in front of goal.

Their shared tally of 13 goals each reflects not only individual brilliance but also the growing competitive balance within the league.

Season of High-Level Finishing and Rising Standards

This season’s scoring race highlights the continued rise in quality within Nigerian women’s football. Both strikers proved decisive in crucial matches, often turning tight contests into valuable wins for their teams.

Their performances also played a significant role in their clubs’ overall campaigns, with both Rivers Angels and Edo Queens benefitting heavily from their attacking firepower.

Recognition for Excellence

While the Golden Boot is traditionally awarded to a single top scorer, this year’s outcome sees a rare and deserved shared honour, celebrating two players who consistently delivered at the highest level.

The achievement further cements both Abasi Ofofon Uwah and Atume Doosuur as standout forwards in the Nigerian women’s game.

As the season closes, attention now shifts to future competitions where both strikers will aim to build on their impressive form. With 13 goals each, they leave the campaign not just as scorers, but as defining figures of the NWFL Premiership season.

A fitting end to a thrilling Golden Boot race—shared, deserved, and historic.
