The Ondo State Government has expressed its readiness to sell the state-owned football clubs—the Sunshine Stars and the Sunshine Queens, both of Akure.

While Sunshine FC are currently playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League, the Sunshine Queens are playing in the second division of Nigeria Women Professional Football League.

The state Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Mr. Bamidele Ologunloluwa who disclosed this in an interview, said the state-owned football teams needed to be privatised for proper administration, adding that it may lead to the government handing off the clubs completely or partnering with investors.
