The Super Falcons of Nigeria also garner attention after their dramatic victory against the host nation, Morocco, securing the 10th title at the Africa Women Championship.
Furthermore, the magazine’s scope extends to an in-depth analysis of the Nigeria Premier League, wherein football experts evaluate the league’s development and the international standard players it has produced over the years.
Through its comprehensive coverage, Sports Market International continues to engage football enthusiasts with thorough narratives and analytical pieces.
