Women’s football in Nigeria has recorded a major milestone as the Judith Chime’s Championship becomes the first-ever Nigerian women’s football tournament to be featured on Sofascore, one of the world’s leading sports analytics and live–score platforms. This groundbreaking inclusion not only elevates the competition’s visibility but also unlocks new opportunities for players, coaches, scouts, and fans across the country.
The 2025 edition of the Judith Chime’s Championship is scheduled to kick off on December 13th and run through December 21st, featuring some of the brightest upcoming talents in women’s football. The platforming of this tournament on Sofascore marks a new chapter for grassroots development, ensuring that every match, every goal, and every standout performance receives global attention.
Sofascore is widely recognized for delivering real-time match statistics, player ratings, heatmaps, assists, goal breakdowns, and advanced analytics. With millions of active users worldwide, being featured on the platform offers unmatched visibility.

Player statistics will be accessible globally, giving young stars a digital footprint.
Scouts and agents gain a verified performance database, improving pathways for international trials.
Fans and media outlets gain deeper engagement, with real-time data enhancing storytelling and match coverage.
Clubs and academies can track development, identify strengths, and build data-driven training programs.
This type of visibility is transformative. It bridges the gap between grassroots tournaments and elite leagues, ensuring that young female footballers in Nigeria receive the same digital recognition available to stars around the world.
