The Nigeria Rugby League has announced Bolu Fagborun as the head coach for the women’s national team as they gear up for the World Cup qualifiers against Kenya.
Bolu Fagborun brings extensive experience and a proven record of success to his new position.
Previously, he was the head coach of the national men’s team during the MEA Championship 2022 in Ghana. Under his leadership, the men’s team won the prestigious MEA Championship title in 2024.
