Nigeria representatives to the ongoing Confederation of Africa Football (CAF), Edo Queens FC will on Friday, November 22nd, in Morocco file out against FC Masar of Egypt in the third-place game of the prestigious 2024 CAF Women Champions League fiesta.
Both teams ran out of steam in their semi-final clash on Tuesday after Edo Queen’s hope of reaching the finals was dashed by the muscular Ladies from D. R.Congo Tout Puissant TP Mazembe in a 3-1 defeat after 120 minutes of real football action.
FC Masar also had their dream of flying their country’s flag at the finals bashed as they succumbed to a last-minute goal against the highly experienced AS FAR FC of Morocco to bow out with a painful 2-1 defeat.
Edo Queens and FC Masar have a score to settle in tomorrow’s do-or-die cracker. It is going to be a game of supremacy, supremacy in the sense that both teams met in the group stage and played goals after 90 minutes of regulation time.
It is also important to note that both sides defeated the former champions, Mamelodi Sundown of South Africa in group B.
The teams will use Friday’s epic clash to settle their unfinished business of the group with a whopping 350 thousand dollars to be won by the winner of the encounter while the loser will go home with 300 thousand dollars.
Meanwhile, TP Mazembe will face AS FAR in the grand finale on Saturday to determine who becomes 2024 champions in the continent. The winner will smile to the bank with 600,000 dollars in addition to the prestigious Gold Cup.
In a press briefing for tomorrow’s encounter, coach of Edo Queens Moses Aduku, said, “So far, so good we want to thank God where we found ourselves, it is a game in football, you win some, you lose some.
“Like you said, we are not out yet, we are fighting for the third place. So by Friday, I’m expecting my girls to go all out and see how we can win.
“I know it is not going to be easy, the Egyptian side is a good team, last time we played them it was goalless.
“We are putting the finishing touches to our training today by tomorrow we go in there and fight it out.”
