Nigerian singer Tems has announced plans to start a women's football team and hoped she could participate in the sport.
The Grammy Award winner discussed her love for sports on her YouTube podcast. Tems also noted that the women’s football team would play in regional competitions since she thinks it would help the
Nigerian women’s league a lot.
She said, “I love sports. I love sports, but if I could play football, I would. I’m like a football fan.
“I want to start a female football team. I think it is something that is needed. Like, why can’t we just have something like a local tournament with the girls? I feel like it would be fun.”
Tems rose to fame in 2020 when she and Wizkid made the popular song ‘Essence’.
She went on to do a remix featuring popular musician Justin Bieber, which earned her a Grammy nomination.
