The Delta State Sports Commission has reconstituted Delta Queens Football Club Management Board and Technical Crew as part of measures to enhance the club’s performance in the coming 2025/2026 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Season.
Recall that the entire structure of Delta Queens Football Club, including the management board, technical crew and the playing personnel were dissolved about months ago by the Delta Sports Commission following the club’s abysmal performance in the just concluded 2024)2025 NWFL Season.
The announcement of a new management team, technical crew, and backroom staff ahead of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) season was contained in a statement signed by the Commission’s Director of Public Relations, Mrs. Franka Okonma, and made available to newsmen in Asaba.
The statement reads in parts, ” Following the dissolution of the former management and the technical setup of Delta Queens Football Club, at the end of the 2024/2025 NWFL Season, the Delta State Sports Commission has approved the appointment of a new management team, technical crew and support staff to reposition the club for greater efficiency, professionalism and improved performance .”

According to the statement, Awhana Mercy returns as General Manager, bringing wealth of experience and administrative strength to the new setup. She will work alongside Samson Keshi, a UEFA-certified coach and former head coach of Naija Ratels FC, who has been appointed as the club’s new Head Coach. Keshi’s European training and domestic achievements are expected to bring a technical edge to Delta Queens’ pursuit of top-flight dominance.
Also appointed to the technical crew are assistant coaches Jennifer Adjuyah, Maureen Eke, Susan Joy Aliya, with Njoku Okechukwu named as Goalkeeper Trainer.
The Delta State Sports Commission noted that the appointments are part of a broader effort to inject professionalism, stability, and renewed energy into the club’s operations as Delta Queens prepare for a competitive NWFL campaign.
The newly reconstituted team is expected to be officially inaugurated in the coming days.
