The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has confirmed that Ekiti Queens will return to their home ground in Ado-Ekiti after successfully serving a disciplinary sanction tied to matchday and security breaches.
The sanction had earlier forced the club to relocate their home fixtures to Abeokuta, following violations of league regulations concerning match organisation and safety protocols.
However, after meeting all required operational standards and demonstrating improved compliance, the league has approved their return, effective from Matchday 12 of the ongoing 2025/26 NWFL Premiership season.

Ekiti Queens are expected to formally celebrate their return to Ado-Ekiti on Matchday 15, when they host regional rivals Pacesetter Queens in what promises to be a keenly contested Southwest derby in front of their home fans.
In a related development, the NWFL has also lifted the ban on spectators attending home matches of Ibom Angels FC in Uyo.
The restriction was initially imposed after incidents involving crowd control and breaches of matchday conduct, which led to the club playing recent fixtures behind closed doors.
Following a comprehensive review of Ibom Angels’ matchday arrangements, including enhanced security measures and adherence to league guidelines, the NWFL expressed satisfaction with the improvements made by the club.
As a result, supporters will be allowed back into the stadium starting from their Matchday 12 clash against Adamawa Queens on Wednesday, restoring the matchday atmosphere for the South-South side.
The NWFL reiterated its commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism, safety, and integrity across all venues, while commending both Ekiti Queens and Ibom Angels for their cooperation and compliance throughout the sanction period.
