By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde
Dr. Sifo Omatsola, Chairman of Royal Queens FC, has extended heartfelt congratulations to the Executive Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, Chief Oborevwori Onos, for his pivotal role in revitalizing the sports sector in Delta State — particularly in steering Warri Wolves FC to promotion into the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), and spearheading the ongoing rejuvenation of Delta Queens FC.
Dr. Sifo hailed the achievements as a watershed moment for Delta football, commending the Sports Commission’s dynamic leadership and vision. He described the resurgence of both clubs as symbolic of a broader renaissance in the state’s sporting landscape.
“Chief Oborevwori Onos has brought a breath of fresh air to sports in Delta State,” Dr. Sifo said. “His leadership is clearly yielding results. The promotion of Warri Wolves back to the NPFL is not just a win for the club but a landmark achievement for Delta football. It reflects the vision and commitment of a sports administrator who understands the pulse of the game.”
Warri Wolves earned their promotion after an impressive campaign at the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 tournament held in Asaba. Despite an initial 1-0 setback to Osun United, the team rallied to defeat Kun Kalifa FC 3-0 and edged past Crown FC 2-1 to secure their place in the top flight.
Beyond that triumph, Dr. Sifo praised Chief Onos for his bold reforms at Delta Queens FC — including the appointment of a new, forward-thinking management team — a move aimed at restoring the club’s stature in Nigerian women’s football.
“The rejuvenation of Delta Queens shows that the Sports Commission is thinking long-term and laying the right foundations,” Dr. Sifo remarked. “Appointing a fresh, dynamic management team ahead of the new season is a strong signal of intent.”
He further emphasized that these strides are not just victories for individual clubs but indicators of a broader transformation — one that is rekindling interest, drawing investment, and restoring belief in Delta’s sporting future.
“This is a new chapter for sports in Delta. We’re seeing real impact — from grassroots development to elite competition. The credit goes to Chief Oborevwori Onos and his team for their dedication, strategic planning, and unwavering support for our local teams.”
Dr. Sifo concluded by expressing optimism that with sustained support and visionary leadership, Delta State is on course to reclaim its position as Nigeria’s powerhouse in football excellence.
