  "account": "Edo Queens and Ghanaian team Ampem Darkoa Ladies are set to resume their Women's African Football Union B Champions League final on Saturday in Burkina Faso. This match, now tied at 2-2 after extra time, will restart following a reversal of Edo Queens' 4-1 penalty shootout victory by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The CAF annulled the initial win, citing that match officials had violated competition rules by not playing the required extra time before going straight to penalties. The Ghana Football Association contested this decision on behalf of Edo Queens, but CAF's Appeal Board upheld the ruling. The teams will now play 30 minutes of extra time, with a penalty shootout if the score remains level. CAF has also stipulated that different officials will oversee the continuation. This crucial match, taking place just before the 2026 CAF Women's Champions League in Egypt, will secure one of the remaining qualification spots for the continental finals, alongside AS FAR, FUS Rabat, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kawempe Muslim, Lekié FF and USFAS Bamako. The winning team will join Egypt's representative as part of the eight-team lineup. Defending champions AS FAR aim to retain their title, while two-time winners Sundowns seek their third continental crown.",
