Ultimate frisbee league Nigeria

Описание: Nigeria’s first-ever Ultimate Frisbee League has officially begun in Lagos, marking a significant milestone in the growth of the sport in the country.

The opening round of fixtures took place at the Italian International School, where four teams — YellowJackets, Dragons, Marlins, and Phoenix — commenced their campaign in the inaugural season.

Game Week 1 produced an immediate highlight as Dragons fought back from a six-point deficit to secure a draw against YellowJackets in one of the most competitive matches of the round. In the other fixture, Phoenix delivered a commanding performance against Marlins, securing maximum points and emerging as the early team to watch.

League coordinator and players also shared their assessments of the opening games, expressing optimism about the league’s structure, competitiveness, and long-term vision for the sport in Nigeria.

The seven-week league, set to conclude with a championship final in April, reflects the steady rise of Ultimate Frisbee across local communities, with clubs continuing to gain visibility and participation.

As an all-inclusive sport played by mixed teams, the league also highlights the spirit of equality and collaboration that defines Ultimate Frisbee.

With an entertaining first round completed, attention now shifts to next weekend’s fixtures as teams continue their quest to become the inaugural champions.
