Kwara United Queens FC will resume camping activities on June 26 as part of preparations for their maiden appearance in the Nigeria Women’s Football League.

A statement on Wednesday night by the club’s secretary, Mardiyyah Yusuf, said all players must report to the team’s camp between June 26 and 28.

According to her, any player who fails to report on or before June 29 will be automatically dropped from the squad list.

She said the measure was aimed at ensuring adequate preparation for the club’s participation in the NWFL, which is scheduled to commence in August 2026.

The secretary urged all invited players to adhere strictly to the resumption directive.

The resumption notice followed the Kwara government’s approval and endorsement of the establishment of Kwara United Queens FC.
