Nigeria’s flagbearers, the Edo Queen will make their
final appearance at the 2024 CAF Women’s League this Friday when they take on
FC Masar of Egypt in the third-place match.
A win will not only fetch them the bronze medal, but
an increased financial gain from $300,000 to $350,000. By the current exchange
rate, this is N589,284,600.

standards and also fetch some of the players better offers from foreign clubs.
Already, their good run has led to some of the players
emerging as nominees at next month’s CAF Awards in Morocco. Monle Oyono is
nominated along with Super Falcon’s goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie as contender
for the African Woman’s Goalkeeper of the Year.
