Edo Queens FC coach Moses Aduku has released a 24-woman squad list for their participation in the CAF Women’s Champions League, which will begin on November 9, 2024.
The Queens begin their quest to conquer Africa on Sunday when they face off against their Ethiopian counterparts, CBE FC in a mouthwatering clash at the Stade Larbi Zaouli.
They will then face off against another debutant in the competition, FC Masar of Egypt on Wednesday at the same venue before rounding up the group stage against Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies on Saturday.
While this is their first continental foray, the team is determined to make a strong impression and return the trophy to Nigeria.
Nigeria has a history of participation in the CAF Women’s Champions League, with Rivers Angels and Bayelsa Queens representing the nation in previous years. Edo Queens aim to surpass their predecessors’ achievements and bring the coveted trophy back to Nigeria.
