Edo Queens clinched the 2025/26 NWFL Premiership title after a goalless draw with Bayelsa Queens on the final day of the Super Six at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt on Sunday, www.aclsports.com reports.
The result, combined with other final-day fixtures, ensured the Benin-based side finished top of the standings with 10 points to claim their second league title in three seasons as a tightly contested Super Six campaign came to a close.
Edo Queens confirmed their position at the summit as Bayelsa Queens entered the final round needing victory to retain their crown, while Nasarawa Amazons were also required to win to keep their own title hopes alive. However, neither side managed to produce the decisive result needed in a tense conclusion to the campaign.
The outcome extends a recent run of changing champions in the NWFL Premiership, with no side successfully defending the title since Rivers Angels in the 2020/2021 season.
Edo Queens will now represent Nigeria at the CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU B qualifiers, continuing their continental ambitions following their league success. Head coach Moses Aduku further enhanced his reputation with a second league title at the club and a third overall in his career.
