Edo Queens secured their first league title in May after a successful campaign culminating in the Super 6 tournament in Bayelsa. They also represented Nigeria at the CAF Women’s Champions League in Morocco in October, finishing fourth.  

This new season presents a fresh challenge for Moses Aduku’s side. Their immediate focus will be navigating Group A successfully before potentially facing tough competition from former champions Rivers Angels and Delta Queens in the later stages of the competition.
