The team, known for its relentless pursuit of excellence, has been one of the busiest clubs in preparation for the competition, which is set to take place from July 14th to 20th in Benin City, Edo State.

The goal is clear: to secure promotion to the prestigious Ardova Handball Premier League, the top-tier league and the biggest handball event in Nigeria.
Osun Babes Handball Club confirmed the signing of two promising players from Oluyole Babes Handball Club, Ibadan—Olatunji Anuoluwapo Omobolanle and Okunlola Praise. The announcement was made by the team’s handler, coach Taiwo Joshua Aogo just a few days to the upcoming season opener.
