Edo Queens New Champions of Nigeria Women Football League
Edo Queens have been confirmed as the champions of the 2023/2024 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), marking a historic achievement for the team. The decisive moment came during the NWFL Super Six final showdown in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, where they drew 1-1 with Bayelsa Queens, securing their maiden title with a total of 10 points.
The final day of the Super Six was filled with intense competition and high stakes. Edo Queens, managed by Moses Aduku, displayed resilience and skill throughout the tournament. Their draw against Bayelsa Queens was enough to ensure their top position on the leaderboard, thanks to their consistent performance in previous matches.
The title race was closely contested, and Rivers Angels were also in contention for the championship. However, their hopes were dashed when they could only manage a 1-1 draw against Heartland Queens on the final day. This result left them short of the points needed to overtake Edo Queens, confirming Aduku’s side as the league winners.
This triumph marks a significant milestone for Edo Queens, as they celebrate their first-ever NWFL title. The team’s success is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and strategic prowess throughout the season. Their victory is not only a proud moment for the club but also a boost for women’s football in Nigeria, showcasing the growing talent and competitive spirit within the league.
Edo Queens’ journey to the top has been inspiring, and their achievement will undoubtedly motivate other teams in the league. As the champions prepare to build on this success, they will be seen as a formidable force in Nigerian women’s football, setting new standards for excellence and determination in the sport.
