The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) has been named the winner of the ICC x Rexona Criiio Cricket Festival of the Year Award, a prestigious international recognition celebrating outstanding innovation and impact in grassroots cricket development.
The award was presented in recognition of the Federation’s transformative Criiio Cricket Festival held in Zamfara State, an initiative that demonstrated how cricket can serve as a powerful tool for inclusion, empowerment and social change.
Delivered under the theme “Breaking Barriers,” the festival took cricket to a region where access to sport and education for girls has historically been limited. By combining sport, culture and strong community engagement, the initiative challenged long-standing barriers, promoted greater participation, and laid the foundation for a sustainable legacy for women’s cricket across Northwest Nigeria.
