Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, and Asaba, capital of Delta state, have signified their interest to host the second phase of the 2015 Zenith Bank Women Basketball League. The Zenith Bank Women Basketball League season takes place in three phases with the first stage of
the campaign currently ongoing in Abuja.
Lagos is scheduled to host the third and final stage of the season, but both Ilorin and Asaba have expressed their respective interests in hosting the second phase of the season. Ilorin has hosted the last two editions of the second phase of the Zenith Bank Women League, and longs to host the nation’s premier women’s basketball event for a third straight year.
However, their bid to get the nod of the NBBF faces stiff opposition from the city of Asaba, which is one of the strongholds of women’s basketball in the country.
Asaba, perennial hosts of the second phase in the early years of the Zenith Bank Women League, seeks to get back the rights, having missed out in the last two editions. New Telegraph was however informed by reliable sources that the board appears divided on whom to award the hosting rights.
