The former Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, and his wife, Betsy, haved doled out a N10 million cash reward to the players and technical crew of Edo Queens for their nomination as CAF Women’s Club of the Year.

Obaseki and his wife who celebrated the team’s superlative performance at the just-concluded CAF Champions League, said Edo Queens have not only conquered Nigeria as the reigning champions of the Nigerian Women's Football League (NWFL), but have also made their mark on the continental stage with their nomination as CAF Women’s Club of the Year.

In a statement by the Media Adviser to the former governor, Crusoe Osagie, Obaseki said the team's accomplishments highlight the profound impact of the investments and reforms implemented in the sports sector by his administration between 2016 and 2024, particularly in promoting grassroots sports development, creating opportunities, and harnessing the sporting potential of women and youth in the State.

The statement reads, “We are delighted to announce a ₦10 million cash reward for the technical crew and players of our State’s women’s football team and Nigerian Women’s Premier League (NWPL) champions, Edo Queens, by His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betsy, in recognition of the team's impressive performance at the just-concluded CAF Champions League and their subsequent nomination as CAF Women’s Club of the Year.

“Our superstar Edo Queens have continued to make us proud with their exploits and achievements, which have placed Edo State and Nigeria on the football map of Africa. Having conquered Nigeria as the reigning champions of the Nigerian Women's Football League (NWFL), they have now made their mark on the continental stage with their nomination as CAF Women’s Club of the Year.

“We celebrate this great accomplishment, which further validates the impact of the deliberate investments and reforms in the sports sector under the immediate past government of His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, which repositioned the State as a centre of excellence in sports.”

Osagie added, “Through numerous initiatives, including the Betsy Obaseki Women Football Tournament (BOWFT), Nigeria’s foremost pre-season women’s football tournament, the State was able to harness local talent, provide a platform for young women to showcase their skills, and nurture them into becoming world-class players. These bold efforts were instrumental in building a strong foundation for the success we are celebrating today, and we are proud of the team for being a good reflection of the progress made in sports development in the past eight years.”

I heartily congratulate our girls and Nigeria’s representatives in this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League, Edo Queens FC, on your well-deserved nomination as CAF Women’s Club of the Year.

We are proud to be reaping the fruits of that labour today as Edo Queens have now become a leading force in women’s football on the continent.

We celebrate your exploits and accomplishments and are confident you will be announced winners at the CAF Award ceremony scheduled for later this year, in Morocco.

Congratulations, once again.

His Excellency,
Godwin Obaseki
