After a nail-biting NWFL Super 6 showdown that ended in disappointment for both, Edo Queens and Nasarawa Amazons are set to meet once again, this time in the semi-finals of the President Federation Cup. The two teams are not only battling for a chance to reach the final but are also driven by the desire for revenge after their goalless draw in the final match of the Super 6.
The NWFL Super 6 final match between Edo Queens and Nasarawa Amazons, played on pitch 1, was always expected to produce the tournament champion. With Nasarawa Amazons leading the standings with 8 points and their form at the tournament, they only needed a win of any margin, and the results from any other venue wouldn’t have mattered to them, as they would secure the title. Edo Queens, on the other hand, also had a mathematical chance of retaining their trophy if they could score big against Nasarawa and get some help from other venues.

Despite their best efforts, the match ended in a goalless draw, dashing Edo Queens’ hopes of retaining the title.
