Ampem Darkoa Ladies Defeat Edo Queens to Qualify for CAF
Edo Queens faced Ampem Darkoa Ladies in a WAFU-B final replay, which took place in Cairo. The match ended with Ampem Darkoa winning 3-2, thus qualifying for the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League.
This match followed a previous encounter in September that ended in a 2-2 draw. In that match, Edo Queens had won 4-1 in penalties, but Ampem Darkoa protested the skipped extra time.
CAF upheld the protest, annulled the penalty shootout, and ordered a replay starting from the 2-2 scoreline. The replay included an additional 30 minutes of extra time, during which Mohammed Afishata scored the decisive goal in the 92nd minute.
This victory marked Ampem Darkoa's first qualification for the group stages of the continental competition since 2023. They will compete in Group B against AS FAR of Morocco, USFAS Bamako from Mali, and Kawempe Muslim Ladies from Uganda, beginning their campaign on 2 November.
