Edo Queens Target Crucial Victory Against Ibom Angels In NWFL Clash

Edo Queens will be aiming to secure a vital three points when they host Ibom Angels in a Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City on Wednesday.

The encounter, scheduled for 4 p.m., marks matchday 17 of the regular season and is of significant importance for both sides as the campaign approaches its decisive stages.

Edo Queens, former WAFU-B champions, head into the fixture with confidence following their 2-1 victory over Ibom Angels in the reverse fixture in Uyo earlier in the season. Determined to complete a double over their opponents, the Benin-based side have emphasised the importance of maintaining momentum as they prepare for the Super Six playoffs.

With only two matches remaining in the regular season, the team—backed by strong support from fans and stakeholders—are keen to sustain their impressive form. Their ambition extends beyond domestic success, as they seek to represent Nigeria at the continental level.

Ibom Angels, however, are expected to provide a stern test. Known for their physical style of play and effectiveness on the counter-attack, the Akwa Ibom side will be eager to upset their hosts and improve their standing.

Edo Queens have expressed confidence in their ability to rise to the occasion, highlighting their depth, tactical discipline, and winning mentality. The fixture is being viewed as a key preparatory test ahead of the highly anticipated Super Six tournament, where the league title will ultimately be decided.

For supporters in Benin City, optimism remains high that their team can continue its upward trajectory. With the stakes increasing and the margin for error narrowing, Edo Queens are fully aware that every point counts in their pursuit of glory.
