Bayelsa Queens are back on the continent after lifting the Nigeria Women Football League NWFL 2024/25 title.
Vera Micheal exploded with a hat-trick to help the champions to a 4-1 win over pointless Naija Ratels today in one of final matches of the Super Six at the Remo Sports Institute in Ikenne Remo Ogun State.
The win ensured Bayelsa finished atop the standings with 10 points after 5 rounds of the post regular season tournament.
Adeshina Tumininu had equalised for the Abuja based Ratels in the 42nd minute after Vera’s opener on 28 minutes.
Mega Cynthia restored Bayelsa’s lead in the 47th minute before Vera made sure of the victory with two goals on 61 and 67 minutes to secure the title for the Prosperity Ladies.
All final games kicked off simultaneously at the Remo Sports Institute.
Nasarawa Amazons who needed a win to finish as champions, drew goalless against Edo Queens at the Main Bowl of the Institute to place 2nd in the final table with 9 points while their opponents ended in 3rd spot with 8 points.
Rivers Angels finished 4th with 7 points after Titilayo Aweda’s first half brace earned them a 2-1 win over Remo Stars Ladies who dropped to 5th position, leaving pointless Ratels propping the table.
Bayelsa Queens who represented Nigeria on the continent two seasons ago will now fly the country’s flag in the West African Football Union WAFU Zone B Qualifying for this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League.
