The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has overturned Edo Queens' victory in the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU-B qualifying final, following Ghanaian side Ampem Darkoa Ladies' protest. The Ghanaian team argued that an additional 30 minutes of extra time should have been played after their match ended in a 2-2 draw with Edo Queens on September 5 in Ouagadougou.
Edo Queens ultimately won the match 4-1 on penalties, securing their spot in the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League. However, CAF determined that the final did not meet the competition regulations, which state that two 15-minute periods of extra time should be played if the score is level after 90 minutes, with penalties only used if the scores remain level after the additional 30 minutes.
As a result, the final will now resume from the 2-2 scoreline, with both teams playing two 15-minute periods of extra time. If the scores remain level after the additional 30 minutes, penalties will be used to determine the winner. The eventual victor will claim the zone's qualification place at the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League.
