Edo Queens Petition CAF over WAFU B Women's Champions League Final

The Nigerian club wants CAF to void the result, order a replay and release match records after alleging venue and eligibility irregularities.

  • Nigerian club Edo Queens has petitioned the Confederation of African Football to overturn their 3-2 extra-time defeat to Ghanaian champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies in the 2026 WAFU-B Women's Champions League final.
  • Following a 2-2 draw on September 5 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, CAF ordered the match to resume from extra time, where Ampem Darkoa scored two minutes in to secure victory on Thursday.
  • Edo Queens alleges the venue change to Cairo, Egypt, lacked required confirmation from WAFU-B and claims improper player eligibility and accommodation at a military base rather than a hotel.
  • The club seeks a full 90-minute replay under regulated conditions, or alternatively requests CAF declare them the winner if a replay cannot be completed before the Champions League begins on November 1.
  • Ampem Darkoa is preparing for the continental tournament in Egypt, where they are drawn in Group B alongside Morocco's AS FAR, Uganda's Kawempe Muslim Ladies, and Mali's USFAS Bamako.
