Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has congratulated Edo Queens for securing a place in the finals of the CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU Group B Qualifier, after defeating FC Inter D’Abidjan of Ivory Coast 2-1 in their semi-final match on Tuesday.
Edo Queens took an early lead in the semi-final encounter thanks to Emem Essien, while Blessing Illivieda doubled the advantage before the hosts reduced the deficit.
The Nigeria Women Football League champions have been impressive in the tournament, winning their group with a 100 per cent record and the winner of the competition will pick the only slot for WAFU B at the 2024 CAF Women’s Champions League in November.
Edo Queens are aiming to become the third Nigerian team to feature in the tournament introduced in 2021 after Rivers Angels and Bayelsa Queens.
