After the 47th edition of this season’s Nations Online Oware League, 108 players representing 31 known national teams in total have participated so far. Players from 11 known national teams & 1 unknown participated in the last edition of the tournament. The teams with the most players still remains Ghana 🇬🇭 (15). Followed by Nigeria 🇳🇬 (12) & Uganda 🇺🇬 (11) in 2nd & 3rd place respectively. Uganda 🇺🇬 had the most players (6) participate in the last edition, but Ghana 🇬🇭 with 5 players got the most points, 25.0 in total. Benin 🇧🇯 with 11 players remains in 5th position.
Team Ghana 🇬🇭 with 15 players, has further stretched its lead to 1133.5 points, an increased lead of 451.5 points ahead of Uganda 🇺🇬 last season’s winner. Uganda 🇺🇬 in 2nd position with 682.0 points, has an increased lead of 82.5 points over Nigeria 🇳🇬. It is not making it easy for Nigeria 🇳🇬 with 599.5 points accumulated by 12 players & in 3rd position. In addition with mrjohnson 🇳🇬 not taking part, making it doubly difficult for them to catch up. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is still holding its own with 4 players in 4th position with 363.5 points. Whilst Benin 🇧🇯 with 11 players has amassed 253.0 points.
With 5 tournaments to go, based on past performance it is now highly doubtful that any nation can recruit & field its players to rise to the challenge the top three positioned teams. Approaching the last stretch, I doubt that the top 7 positions will change, but it ain’t over until it is over.
47 tournaments into the new season,
having surpassed last season’s total of 26 nations, with 31 national teams, we are in record breaking territory. Let’s double our efforts to get players from other nations to participate in remaining tournaments of this league and make it past 35 nations.
