After the 49th edition of this season’s Nations Online Oware League, 115 players representing 31 known & possibly several unknown national teams in total have participated so far. Again players from 9 known possibly unknown national teams participated in the last edition of the tournament. The teams with the most players still remains Ghana 🇬🇭 (18). Followed by Nigeria 🇳🇬 (12) & Uganda 🇺🇬 (11) in 2nd & 3rd place respectively. Ghana 🇬🇭 had the most players (5) participated in the last edition, and got the most points, 23.5 in total. Followed by Nigeria 🇳🇬 who got 18.5 points & Uganda 🇺🇬 with 12.0 points. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 with 2 players in 5th position got 5.5 points. Benin 🇧🇯 with 1 player came in 6th position and got 4.0 points.
Team Ghana 🇬🇭 with 18 players, has further stretched its lead to 1169.5 points, an increased lead of 455.0 points ahead of Uganda 🇺🇬 last season’s winner. Uganda 🇺🇬 in 2nd position with 714.5 points, has a slightly decreased lead over Nigeria 🇳🇬 at 84.5 points. It is not making it easy for Nigeria 🇳🇬 with 630.0 points accumulated by 12 players & in 3rd position by consistently fielding more players than Nigeria 🇳🇬, though they are less skilled. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is still holding its own with 4 players in 4th position with 376.5 points. Whilst Benin 🇧🇯 in 5th position with 11 players has amassed 273.5 points.
With 3 tournaments to go, based on past performance it is now near to impossible that any nation can recruit & field its players to rise to the change the to 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. However position 8 is still in contention between Mexico 🇲🇽 & the Czech Republic 🇨🇿, dedication will resolve which team gets that position.

having surpassed last season’s total of 26 nations, with 31 known 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.
