Hon. Andrew Ijegbai, the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives candidate for Owen Federal Constituency seat congratulates Edo Queens Football Club on emerging champions of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership.
Hon Ijegbai described the victory as a well deserved one having worked hard, saying that winning the league title this season is another remarkable achievement to the historic title they won for the first time in 2024.
Edo Queens won the women premier league trophy on Sunday after a goalless stalemate with the defending champions Bayelsa Queens, following their remarkable feat, thrashing FC Robo Queens, Abia Angels and Rivers Angels 4-1,6-2 and 2-1 respectively before the final game to garner 10 points (+7) goals. They only lost their opening match to Nasarawa Amazon 1-0.
‘ It is with immense joy and pride that I extend my warmest congratulations to Hon Amadin Desmond Enabulele’s incredible management yeam, dedicated coaching staff, and the phenomenal players of the Edo Queens Football Club on their historic victory, securing the Nigeria Women Premier Football League (NWPFL) title this past Sunday evening.
“This spectacular achievement is not just a win on the pitch; it is a powerful testament to the hard work, unrelenting resilience, and sheer discipline that this team has displayed throughout the entire season and the Super Six tournament. You have proven that with dedication and teamwork, no goal is unattainable. ” Ijegbai said.
” Your spectacular run and ultimate victory beautifully embody the true spirit of the Edo person—a spirit defined by bravery, excellence, and an indomitable will to succeed against all odds. You have brought glory to our great state and reminded the nation that Edo remains the undisputed cradle of sports in Nigeria. ” He emphasized.
” As you celebrate this well-deserved championship, please know that you have inspired a new generation of young athletes across Edo State and beyond. We look forward to cheering you on as you carry this momentum into future competitions and continental campaigns.” Congratulations once again, Champions!
