Their title-clinching 2–1 victory over Confluence Queens in the final fixture sealed a back-to-back triumph that underlines their status as one of the most formidable forces in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) landscape.
Remo Ladies combined attacking flair with defensive discipline throughout the week-long pre-season tournament, producing standout performances that left no doubt about their championship pedigree.
Hot on their heels were Ekiti Queens, who delivered one of their finest showings in recent years to finish runners-up with 11 points. The team, inspired by veteran midfielder Amarachi Okoronkwo, showcased tactical maturity and resilience — qualities that earned them admiration as the revelation of the tournament.
Hosts Naija Ratels had to settle for third place with 7 points, their attacking intent undone by missed opportunities in crucial moments. Confluence Queens finished fourth on 4 points, edging Dannaz Ladies on goal difference, while FCT Ladies endured a forgettable outing at the bottom of the table.
The final standings reflected both the competitive depth and evolving quality of the women’s game in Nigeria:
Position Team P W D L GD Pts

The 2025 Sheroes Cup once again lived up to its billing as Nigeria’s top women’s pre-season tournament, providing a platform for tactical experimentation, scouting opportunities, and the discovery of emerging stars ahead of the new NWFL Premiership season.
With Wemimo’s Remo Ladies looking stronger than ever, attention now shifts to the 2025/26 NWFL campaign.
