CAFWCL: Debutant Edo Queens Thrash Ethiopian Opponent In Group Opener

Nigeria’s representative at this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League in Morocco, Edo Queens, got their debut campaign off to a perfect start as they thrashed CBE of Ethiopia 3-0 in their first game in Group B on Sunday.

Goals from Emem Essien, Folashade Ijamilusi and Chukwuamaka Osigwe sealed the comfortable win for the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) champions.

Essien opens the scoring in the 5th minute before Ijamilusi added the second goal on 54 minutes.

With 10 minutes left Osigwe then added the third goal to secure the three points.

I heartily congratulate our darling ladies, Edo Queens, for their superlative start of the CAF Women's Champions League campaign with a resounding 3-0 victory over the CBE FC of Ethiopia.

The team has continued in their brilliant form with their impressive performance, dominating the field of play throughout the 90 minutes of regular time to secure the top spot of the championship.

They have given a good account of themselves and have kept to their promise of making us proud. We wish them success as they continue on their impressive run and are confident that they will bring the laurel home. Congratulations, champs!

This is one aspect I cherish in development that only a few leaders in this country are giving it attention.

real talk that's what most people fail to realize, I doubt if okphebolo can keep up with those line of governance which are critical for development, that's why I can never be too much of a critic of obaseki because the institutional reforms he did compare to where the state was before is highly remarkable.

But why take the match all the way to Morocco? Does Ethoipia not have facilities to host foreign opponents? Even at that, Morocco is a tad too far from Ethiopia, why not use neighbouring Sudan or Kenya? Congrats to the Edo queens nonetheless, wishing them success in their remaining matches especially with those Sundowns ladies

The competition is being held in a tournament format, like the African Cup of Nations. All the matches are being held in Morocco.

Ok, so Morocco is the host. That's a good idea, more effective than flying across the continent to meet different opponents
