The Chief Executive Officer of the Elite Athletes Development and Podium Performance Board, Olympian Yussuf Alli, has congratulated Edo Queens Football Club on their victory in the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) 2025/26 season, secured after a successful campaign at the NWFL Super Six in Port Harcourt.

Alli described the triumph as a reflection of the club’s dominance and the hard work of the players, technical crew, and management.
