2025/2026 NWFL Match Day 12: Maximum points over Ekiti Queens non-negotiable says Edo Queens

Posted : 25 March 2026

As the race to the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Super Six heats up, the unstoppable Edo Queens FC at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, continue their winning run as they host Ekiti Queens FC in the second leg of the NWFL Premiership.

Despite their hostility in the first leg against Edo Queens in a high-intensity match played at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado-Ekiti, Edo Queens pipped Ekiti Queens 1-0 in front of their aggressive and very volatile football fans.

In this return fixture, the Benin-based Queens have said that there will be no hiding place for Ekiti Queens, as the NWFL potential league champions are battle-ready to sink the Oluyemi Kayode girls, making sure they return to Ekiti State with zero points. If that is achieved, the Ekiti ladies will now have to battle to get out of the relegation zone.

Moreover, Ekiti Queens' problems will get more complicated after they must have suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Benin Queens in tomorrow's meeting. Both teams have confronted each other a number of times and Edo Queens have always had the upper hand.

For the home fans, there is no reason to panic because the Benin-based landladies have promised never to let them down as they are focused and working very hard to increase Ekiti Queens' woes on Wednesday.

Sitting second in the Group A table with 24 points after 11 matches, the Moses Aduku-coached side would not want to be distracted. Fillers reaching us from their camp reveal that the Senator Monday Okpebholo girls are mentally and physically ready to compound the woes of Ekiti Queens, who presently sit in seventh position with 10 points with six matches left to end the season before the prestigious Super Six showdown.

After Wednesday's cracker against Ekiti Queens, Edo Queens will fly to Adamawa State where they will face Adamawa Queens at the Makwada Stadium in Matchday 13 of the NWFL in Yola.

It is also important to note that Edo Queens' dream of having the state flag hoisted at the Super Six is something that must be done, as no team in Group A is capable of stopping the Monday Okpebholo Queens.

The determination within the Edo Queens camp reflects a team fully committed to excellence and postseason glory. With the support of their home fans and a tactical edge over their opponents, the Benin-based side is poised to maintain its pursuit of the league title. As the season nears its climax, every point becomes vital in their quest for domestic dominance.
