Nigerian singer Tems has announced plans to start a women football team.

The Grammy award winner talked about her love for sports on her Youtube podcast.

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 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.

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
