CAF Cancels Edo Queens' Penalty Win Over Ampem Darkoa
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has annulled the penalty shootout victory of Edo Queens over Ampem Darkoa Ladies in the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU-B qualifying final. The match, which ended 2-2 on September 5 in Ouagadougou, saw Edo Queens win 4-1 on penalties.
However, Ampem Darkoa protested the decision to proceed directly to penalties, arguing that the match should have included extra time as per CAF WAFU-B competition regulations. CAF upheld this protest, stating that Article 72.4 mandates two 15-minute periods of extra time when a final remains tied after 90 minutes, with penalties only applicable if the score remains level after the additional time.
Consequently, the final will resume from the 2-2 scoreline, with both teams playing the extra time. The outcome will determine which team represents the WAFU-B zone at the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League.
