Edo Queens have been awarded a remarkable N100 million for their impressive triumph in the 2024 WAFU B CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers. This generous reward was announced by Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki during a grand reception held in Benin City.

In his address to the victorious players, Governor Obaseki expressed his pride and joy, stating, “You have all done well. For me, this is our season of celebration. Today, Edo will be 33 years old.” He acknowledged the significant achievement of the team and the impact it has had on the state and the nation.

Reflecting on the progress made in women’s sports, Obaseki remarked, “Before we came into power, there was no respect for Edo women; nobody gave them a chance, but thank God all that has changed now.” He emphasized that previous administrations failed to recognize the importance of sports in youth development, a gap that his government has worked to fill.

The governor highlighted the dedication and investment made over the past eight years, stating, “I am happy that the work and investment we have put in are showing now, and we will continue to encourage our youth.” He encouraged the team to aim for victory in the upcoming CAF Champions League, adding, “I will not disclose what I will do for you yet, but for what you have done, you have made us proud, and you have made Nigeria proud.”

The Edo Queens, led by coach Moses Aduku, secured their place in the CAF Women’s Champions League after defeating Ainonvi FC from Benin with a decisive 3-0 victory at the Stade de la Paix. This outstanding performance not only showcases their talent but also reflects the growing support for women’s sports in Nigeria.

The match began with an immediate impact from Arsenal, as Kai Havertz capitalized on a pass from Leandro Trossard to put the London club ahead within the first six minutes. Arsenal maintained their lead for much of the first half, successfully frustrating the French champions.

The momentum shifted in the 63rd minute when a VAR review resulted in a penalty for PSG. Ousmane Dembélé stepped up to the spot and converted two minutes later, bringing the score level at 1-1. Despite intense efforts from both sides during the remainder of regulation and throughout extra time, neither team could find a winning goal.

The title was ultimately decided by penalties. In the shootout, PSG held their nerve, with Lucas Beraldo converting their final spot-kick. With Arsenal needing to score to force sudden death, defender Gabriel Magalhães sent his effort over the bar, sealing a 4-3 victory for the French side.

This triumph marks a historic achievement for PSG, who become the first French club to win the UEFA Champions League title in two consecutive seasons, having defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the 2025 final. The victory also places head coach Luis Enrique among an elite group of managers to have secured at least three European Cup titles.
