Edo Queens Make History in Maiden Appearance at 2024 CAF Women's Champions League
In their debut appearance at the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League, Nigerian women's league champions Edo Queens have set an unprecedented record for the country and the team. With their impressive performance, they have become the first Nigerian team to win their opening game, keep clean sheets in their first two group games, and top their group.
Edo Queens' remarkable journey began with a 3-0 victory over Commercial Bank of Ethiopia FC in their Group B opener. This win marked the first time a Nigerian team has won their first game in the tournament. They followed this up with a 0-0 draw against FC Masar (Egypt), becoming the first Nigerian team to keep clean sheets in their first two group games.
In their third game, Edo Queens pulled off a stunning 2-1 comeback win over holders Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies. This victory ended the South African team's dominance over Nigerian teams in the competition and marked the first time a Nigerian team has topped their group.
With seven points and a superior goal difference, Edo Queens have secured a semi-final spot against TP Mazembe on Tuesday. A win against the Democratic Republic of Congo side would make Edo Queens the first Nigerian team to reach the final, surpassing Bayelsa Queens' record.
As the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League reaches its climax, African women's football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate more drama and records from Edo Queens.
