August 23, 2024

Edo Queens defeated Benin Republic’s Ainonvi FC 3-0 in the final of WAFU B CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers at the Stade de la Paix, Bouake on Friday night.

The Nigerian champions also sealed a place in the CAF Women’s Champions League following the win.

Captain Suliat Abideeen gave Moses Aduku’s side the lead just before the break.

Enterprising forward Emem Essien doubled the Benin City club lead on the hour mark.

How teams qualify for the competition.

There are 6 African sub-confederations (West Africa has been divided into 2). Each sub-confederation will provide one club and the 6 clubs are usually ed by the host and the defending champions to create an 8 team Champions League competition. Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa are defending champions.

The 6 sub-confederations are:

1) Union of North African Football (UNAF)

2) West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone A

3) West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B

4) Union des Fédérations de Football d'Afrique Centrale (UNIFFAC)

Godwin Obaseki (GGO) @GovernorObaseki

I congratulate our darling ladies for their superlative performance, emerging champions of the CAF Women’s League WAFU Zone B qualifiers. They gave a good of themselves and have kept to their promise of making us proud.

Over the past eight years, we have committed to raising the bar in ensuring equal pay with their male counterparts to serve as motivation. They have proven that we didn’t make the wrong decision.

This is their first sub-continental championship and they have put up a good showing. It is indeed a sign of greater things to come.

I commend the team for their well-deserved victory. I urge them to continue with the brilliant form and proceed to replicate their impressive feat at the CAF Women’s Champions League.

Emem Essien is the highest goalscorer of the competition.

Edo no dey carry last

Nice one there

Omo these girls are invincible


I will personally do something for them

At last, something for obaseki to brag about.

Bravo girls

this one is Europe bound ...go girl

Peter obi players

Are they all biological women though?

There is one face I saw now that gave me pause.

I did a double take, circled back and am still not sure that person is a real woman.

This what leadership, motivation and funding can do to a team. Obaseki has done extremely well in sport especially football.

I learnt the players of insurance and edo queens are of the highest paid in the country.

Our girls have done it! Go Edo Queens!!!

I believe you girls oo..
Anytn inter continental, na for Nigeria girls.even APC government can't influence that one..

Congratulations star girls, thanks for conquering WestAfrica,next is Africa.

Enugu rangers have also also progressed in their first round of qualifying matches. I think they have one more to play before progressing to the group stages. Wishing them successful campaigns

Do you know the man in the black T-shirt? He is the person that Nigerians always looked forward to seeing during Olympics, Commonwealth and All Africa Games opening ceremonies in the 1980s and early 1990s. He was Team Nigeria's captain at all those events and he usually carried our flag (I think he was the longest serving captain).

His name is Yusuf Ali and he was the African and Commonwealth long jump champion (I think he held the African and Commonwealth record).

He is currently the chairman of the Edo State Sports Council.

Energy levels soaring! Yussuf Alli (OLY) arrives in Abidjan to lift the Queens’ spirits, injecting an extra dose of motivation and fueling the Queens' determination for the final showdown tomorrow!

Congratulations our darling queens

Wow!

Congrats to the Edo Queens.

The West African Champions!

Nice performance by Edo Queens.

Something to smile about this country in a long time.
