CAF reverses Edo Queens WAFU B victory

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reversed Edo Queens' victory in the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League Women’s African Football Union-B (WAFU-B) qualifying final, following Ghanaian side Ampem Darkoa Ladies' protest. The match, held in Ouagadougou on September 5, ended 2-2 after extra time, leading to a penalty shootout where Edo Queens emerged victorious with a 4-1 win.

However, CAF ruled that the final did not comply with competition regulations, as extra time was not played after the 90 minutes. According to Article 72.4 of CAF's WAFU-B Regulations, two 15-minute periods of extra time should have been played when the final is level after 90 minutes, with penalties only used if the scores remain unchanged.

Consequently, the shootout victory no longer stands, and the match will now resume from the 2-2 scoreline. Both teams will play two 15-minute periods of extra time, with penalties to decide the winner if they remain level after the additional 30 minutes. The eventual winner will secure the zone's qualification for the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League.
