CAF Schedules Ampem Darkoa, Edo Queens Final Continuation In Egypt

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the follow-up to the WAFU Zone B qualifying final match between Ampem Darkoa Ladies FC and Edo Queens FC will take place in Egypt on October 28 or 29, 2026. This decision was made after the Organising Committee for Women’s Football and the CAF Appeal Board ruled on September 26 and October 16, respectively, regarding the original match played on September 5, 2026.

The resumption will commence with an extra time restart, as the score stood at 2-2 at the time. The two 15-minute periods will be followed by a penalty shootout to determine the winner if the tie remains unresolved. CAF has also stated that the match officials for this continuation will be different from those who handled the initial fixture.

The precise date, venue, and kickoff time will be communicated to both clubs at a later point. This outcome is a result of Edo Queens’ penalty shootout triumph being overturned after Ampem Darkoa lodged a successful protest of the original match's result. The Ghanaian champions had contested the decision, leading to a review by CAF’s judicial entities.

The continuation will determine which team will represent the WAFU Zone B sub-region at the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League in Egypt. With the continental competition's spot on the line, both teams will return to the contest aware that the final 30 minutes of extra time and possibly a penalty shootout will decide the victor.
