Edo Queens eliminated from CAF Women’s Champions League

Edo Queens were eliminated from the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League after losing 3-2 to Ghana's Ampem Darkoa Ladies in Cairo, Egypt, following 30 minutes of extra time. The match was a resumption of a previous encounter that ended in a 2-2 draw during regulation time on September 5 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Initially, Edo Queens had won 4-1 on penalties, but a protest by Ampem Darkoa, citing a failure to play the required extra time before the shootout, led the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to annul that result. The decisive match resumed with both teams tied at 2-2, and Ampem Darkoa scored just two minutes into the extra time, taking the lead.

Despite Edo Queens' efforts to equalize, they could not find the goal needed to extend the match to penalties. Ampem Darkoa, coached by Charles Anokye Frimpong, successfully defended their lead until the final whistle, securing their place in the continental tournament.
