Chairman and Technical Director of Chosen Generation Angels FC and Chairman of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association (NFCA), Ogun State chapter Victor Agbagu Damilola, has expressed confidence in his team’s readiness ahead of the 2026 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Championship in Calabar.
Chosen Generation Angels have been drawn in a highly competitive Group D alongside Imo Striker Queens, Kwara Ladies FC, and Ghetto Tigers FC, with only one team progressing to the promotion playoffs.
Speaking exclusively with Sports247, the club boss insisted that his side is well-prepared to compete favourably and challenge for promotion to the NWFL Premiership.
“Chosen Generation Angels FC is really prepared to compete favourably in this group and in the tournament. The young players of last year are developing fast, and that will be evident in the way we play as a team,” he said.
The experienced football administrator revealed that his expectations are high, particularly regarding the team’s playing style and tactical approach.
“My expectations are high in terms of our playing style and tactics that will be adopted for each game. The girls are looking forward to having a good time at the championship, and I believe the opposition will bring out the best in the team.”
According to Agbagu, the club’s recruitment and development structures, coupled with the players’ winning mentality, will be key factors in their pursuit of promotion.
“Our recruitment and development plans are top-notch. The winning mentality of the girls will push them above the line for promotion. Motivation is another aspect that will ensure the players compete well.”
Beyond chasing results on the pitch, Chosen Generation Angels have built a reputation for developing female talents holistically. The club places equal emphasis on football development, education, and vocational training.
“We emphasize all-round development in technical, tactical, physical, and psycho-social aspects of the game. We also understand the importance of empowering the girl-child through quality education and vocational skills that can support them after football.”
The Chairman also called on supporters and stakeholders to continue believing in the team.
“My message is simple: continue praying for our success, continue supporting and watering these dreams, and we shall not disappoint you.”
He further explained that promotion to the NWFL Premiership would be transformational for both the club and the rural community of Wasimi.
“A team from a rural community earning promotion will positively change our story in terms of sponsorships and partnerships. It will uplift the club, the players, coaches, and management, while showing the community the power of sports and how the girl-child can be used to achieve development objectives.”
As the championship kicks off in Calabar, Chosen Generation Angels will be aiming to turn their ambitions into reality and write another remarkable chapter in their inspiring journey from grassroots football to the national stage.
