Afrobeat popular musician, Tems, has declared her goal to launch a women's football team in Nigeria.

Tems recently won a Grammy Award for her work on Future's song "Wait 4 U," which features Drake, a well-known performer.

She has accomplished the greatest achievement of any Nigerian musician by releasing her album "Born in the Wild."

Aside from music, Tems has also declared her love for football, and she is looking to start a women’s football team.

Tems said in her YouTube podcast, “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 stated that she wants to start a women's football team and play in regional competitions since she thinks it will help the Nigerian women's league a lot.

Tems' big break came in 2020, when she and Wizkid worked together on the popular song "Essence."

She went on to do a remix featuring popular musician Justin Bieber, which earned her a Grammy nomination.
