Edo Queens Clinch NWFL Title, Secure CAF Women’s Champions League Spot | Search Media

Edo Queens have emerged as the champions of the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) after a 1-1 stalemate with hosts Bayelsa Queens

They came out victorious in an explosive match played on Sunday at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa in the final game of the 2023/24 NWFL Super Six tournament.

Edo Queens forward Emem Essien netted the opening goal in the 29th minute with an overhead kick inside the six-yard box.

The Bayelsa Queens got an equaliser just three minutes after the halftime from a long range free kick by Olapde Zainab.

Frustration then set in for Bayelsa fans after news filtered in that Heartland Queens had held favourites Rivers Angels 1-1 in Nembe, which was played simultaneously.

Edo Queens amassed 10 points — while Bayelsa Queens and Rivers Angels had nine points each — to be crowned deserved champions for the first time ever.

Meanwhile, the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki congratulated the Edo Queens for winning the NWFL and picking a ticket for the CAF Women Champions League.

In a statement, the Governor praised the team’s doggedness in holding Bayelsa Queens to a 1-1 draw at the NWFL Super Six Playoffs to win their first league title.
