2026 President Federation Cup (Women): Sunshine Queens seek to extend impressive cup run against Confluence Queens

Posted : 18 June 2026

Sunshine Queens will be aiming to continue their remarkable journey in the 2026 President Federation Cup when they take on Confluence Queens in a quarter-final clash at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, on Thursday.

The Akure-based side has been one of the standout teams in the competition, producing convincing performances to reach the last eight. Victories over Solo Wonders FC and Plateau United Queens FC have underlined their determination to challenge for the prestigious trophy.

Buoyed by their impressive form, the Owena Whales head into the encounter with confidence as they seek a place in the semi-finals. Coach Tayo Onilude's team has displayed tactical discipline, resilience, and attacking intent throughout the tournament, qualities they will hope to replicate against their Kogi State opponents.

Confluence Queens, however, are expected to provide a stern test. The Lokoja side has earned a reputation for being a difficult opponent and will be eager to upset Sunshine Queens' ambitions.

While Sunshine Queens can draw encouragement from their league victory over Confluence Queens earlier this season, the players and coaching crew are wary of the challenge ahead, knowing that knockout football often produces surprises.

With memories of their historic Federation Cup triumph in 2015 still fresh among supporters, Sunshine Queens are determined to move one step closer to another shot at silverware by securing a coveted semi-final place.

All eyes will be on Benin City as both teams battle for a place among the final four of Nigeria's premier women's cup competition.

This high-stakes fixture highlights the rising competitiveness of the women's game as both regional rivals vie for national glory. With the tactical preparations complete and squad confidence soaring, the neutral venue at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium sets the stage for a classic encounter. The winning side will secure a vital semi-final slot, keeping their championship aspirations alive in this prestigious tournament.
