The Nigeria Rugby League has announced the appointment of Bolu Fagborun as the head coach for the women’s national team as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Kenya.

Bolu Fagborun brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to his new role. He previously served as the head coach for the national men’s team during the MEA Championship 2022 in Ghana.

Should Bolu secure victory for Nigeria, the women’s team will earn a spot in the World Series next year.

“We are thrilled to have Bolu Fagborun take on the role of head coach for our women’s national team, said Ade Adebisi, vice chairman of the Nigeria Rugby League.”

“His exceptional coaching abilities and previous successes with the men’s team make him the ideal choice to lead our women as they strive to qualify for the World Cup.”

The Nigeria Rugby League and its supporters are eagerly looking forward to the qualifiers and are committed to providing all necessary support to the women’s team as they embark on this crucial journey.
