Ampem Darkoa coach faults Edo Queens' protest to CAF over WAFU B final

Ampem Darkoa's head coach, Charles Anokye Frimpong, has criticized Edo Queens' protest to CAF following their Women's African Football Union (WAFU) B Women's Champions League final in Cairo. The Nigerian club had requested the annulment of the match, arguing that it had been changed without proper authorization from WAFU B, as per CAF's decision.

The club also claimed that sporting conditions were not restored, as they were denied the opportunity to field eligible players who had participated in the original match. Additionally, Edo Queens alleged that their delegation was housed in a military base rather than a standard team hotel. Frimpong explained that they had engaged in numerous discussions with WAFU organizers to address their concerns before the game.

However, they only protested after the outcome, which Frimpong believes is inconsistent. The coach stated that Edo Queens should have protested earlier rather than arriving in Egypt and settling at the military base, where they trained and played the match. Frimpong avoided giving Edo Queens further attention by not reacting to the protest.

He also suggested that had the match continued beyond the regulation time, Edo Queens might have emerged victorious. Coach Frimpong emphasized that when respect for football is lacking, unfortunate situations can arise.
