Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has congratulated the State’s female football team, Edo Queens for securing a ticket at the CAF Champions League WAFU B Qualifier, after defeating Omnisport Etincelle of Burkina Faso, 1-nil in their final Group B match.
The Governor commended their effort, noting that the female team has once again demonstrated its prowess and exceptional talent on the continental stage, and is confident that the footballers will bring the laurel home.
Edo Queens is Nigeria’s representative to the fourth edition of the CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU-B Inter-Clubs play-off, and has secured maximum points from three matches in Group B to clinch a spot at the next round of the tournament.
The Nigerian Women’s Premier League, NWPL, champions will be facing the host nation’s Inter D’Abidjan at the semi-final match of the competition as the teams battle to decide who will represent the zone at this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League finals in November.
