Nigeria and Coventry City striker Taiwo Awoniyi has extended his grassroots football development initiatives to women’s football in Kwara State, donating ₦5 million to support 10 female football teams.

The former Nottingham Forest forward made the donation after discovering the existence of the teams on Sunday, providing each side with ₦500,000 to support their activities.

In addition to the financial assistance, each of the 10 teams received a complete set of jerseys and 10 footballs to aid their training and participation in the sport.

The gesture highlights Awoniyi’s commitment to grassroots football development and his desire to promote greater participation of women in football, particularly at the community level.

In recognition of his contributions to football development in the state, Chairman of Kwara United Queens, Alhaji Owolabi Agbaji Wopa, and Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Sports Commission, Coach Bolakale Mogaji, presented Awoniyi with the club’s official jersey.

The donation represents another intervention by the Taiwo Awoniyi Foundation, which continues to identify opportunities to support emerging football talents and strengthen the grassroots football structure in Kwara State.
