NWFL: Rivers Angels’ Uwah reacts to top scorer award dispute
Rivers Angels forward, Abasiofon Uwah, has reacted to the controversy that followed the presentation of the Nigeria Women Football League, NWFL, top scorer award.
Uwah and Edo Queens Atume Doosuur both finished with 13 goals at the end of the 2025-26 NWFL season.
Only one award portrait was presented at the ceremony, which led to tension between the two players.
Uwah admitted that she overreacted after the award presentation to Doosuur.
“To everyone who has reached out, thank you for caring, and I want to be honest with you,” Uwah wrote in a statement
“Atume and I both gave everything this season to finish as joint top scorers. When only one award was presented, I held on, not out of anger, but because I had poured my heart into this season and that trophy represented every sacrifice I made.
“Still, looking back, I could have handled that moment better, and I acknowledge that.
“There is no bad blood between Atume and I. We represent each other as players and as people.”
Uwah, however, stated that the issue has been resolved by the league organisers.
