The Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League National Final is set to commence with MFM, Air Warriors, Bayelsa Whales, and Nigeria Customs basketball clubs vying for the coveted title.
The Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos, will be the battleground for this thrilling competition.
Qualifying for the national final was no easy feat, as teams had to navigate through the league’s two zonal play-offs, categorized as Atlantic and Savannah Conferences.
In the end, four formidable clubs emerged to compete for the championship: MFM Lagos and Bayelsa Whales from the Atlantic Conference, and defending champions Air Warriors and Nigeria Customs from the Savannah Conference.
Notably absent from the national final is perennial champions First Bank Women Basketball Club. Having dominated the league for years, their absence creates an opportunity for new contenders to stake their claim to the throne.
One team, in particular, has drawn the attention of pundits and fans alike: Nigeria Customs.
Their impeccable record this year, having not lost a single game, makes them a strong favorite to clinch the 2023 Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League title.
