Governor Diri Urges Corporate Support for Bayelsa Queens Ahead of WAFU B Champions League Final

Posted : 04 September 2025

Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has renewed his call for greater corporate backing of sports in the state, particularly in support of Bayelsa Queens as they gear up for the decisive WAFU B Champions League final.

 

The reigning champions of women’s football in Nigeria have reached the final of the zonal qualifiers taking place in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, where they will face host side ASEC Mimosas on Friday.

 

Speaking during the state’s 172nd executive council meeting at Government House, Yenagoa, Governor Diri emphasized the importance of corporate organizations complementing government efforts in sports development. He urged businesses, oil companies, and individuals to emulate Premium Trust Bank, which last year donated a Coaster bus to Bayelsa Queens during the Governor’s Prosperity Cup, highlighting its commitment to corporate social responsibility.

 

The governor praised Bayelsa Queens for their impressive displays throughout the competition, encouraging Bayelsans and investors alike to rally behind the team as they chase another historic victory.

 

“We should keep our Bayelsa Queens in our prayers, and in whatever way possible, lend our support to what the state government is doing for the team,” Governor Diri said. “Businesses and oil companies operating in our land should encourage our girls in any way they can to promote sports.”

 

Bayelsa Queens are no strangers to success at this level, having won the WAFU B qualifiers in Côte d’Ivoire in 2022 before finishing third in the CAF Women’s Champions League in Morocco. This year, they will be hoping to repeat that feat and secure another ticket to the continental tournament.
