Posted : 20 January 2026

Edo Queens Football Club of Benin will continue their excellent form on Wednesday, January 21, as they host Pacesetters Queens FC at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Matchday 7 of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership.

The Benin-based side has been in top shape since the start of the 2025/2026 season. Their most recent performance came last Wednesday, January 14, when they defeated Naija Ratels FC 3–0, showcasing their dominance and tactical discipline.

With this momentum, Edo Queens will enter Wednesday’s clash with confidence, determination, and focus, with their eyes firmly set on securing all three points.

Currently, the “Monday Okpebholo Girls” sit second in Group A of the premiership table with 12 points, just three behind league leaders Bayelsa Queens, who have 15 points.

For Pacesetters Queens, this fixture represents a first major challenge against the former WAFU-B champions. Playing at the formidable Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, they face an uphill task, as Edo Queens approach every game—home or away—with unwavering commitment.

Edo Queens have remained unbeaten at home since the start of the season. While visitors may attempt to resist, Edo Queens have the strategy and quality to overcome opposition. For the team and their fans, three points are non-negotiable.

Speaking ahead of the match, Edo Queens manager Moses Aduku said:

"I thank God for our victory against Naija Ratels in Abuja. As a team, we are building excellent momentum. The belief comes from our performance and the consistency we have shown this season. What we have done so far should convince us that we have the ability to achieve more."

"For me, it is one game at a time. Our next match is against Pacesetters Queens in Benin, so we have put the last game behind us. Our focus is now on this fixture. In modern-day football, no team is a pushover. We will remain focused until we achieve our goal. My girls will not underestimate any team; we will continue to work hard, play our normal game, and trust God to do the rest."

Edo Queens aim to extend their unbeaten run at home as they host Pacesetters Queens in Matchday 7 of the 2025/2026 NWFL Premiership, with coach Moses Aduku insisting that three points are non-negotiable.
