Bayelsa Queens Eye Semi-Final Spot
Bayelsa Queens, champions of Nigeria, made an impressive start to their campaign with victory in their opening match. Led by captain Shakira Moshood, the team now has the chance to secure a place in the semi-finals with a win against ASKO.
A second consecutive triumph would not only confirm their progression but also underline their credentials as one of the tournament’s leading contenders.
The Queens’ attacking strength and early momentum have given them an advantage heading into this fixture. The Nigerian side are aware, however, that maintaining consistency across the group stage is vital if they are to build towards another deep run in the continental competition.
ASKO Fighting for Survival
For ASKO, the encounter carries a different weight. Defeated in their opening match, the Togolese side have no margin for error. A second loss would see them eliminated at the group stage, cutting short their campaign before it has had the chance to gain traction.
The team will need to deliver a disciplined performance, showing both defensive solidity and attacking sharpness if they are to keep their hopes alive. Their task is made more difficult by facing a Bayelsa side already brimming with confidence and form.
A Contest of High Stakes
The dynamics of Group B make Wednesday’s match one of the most significant of the round. With Bayelsa Queens pushing for early qualification and ASKO battling for survival, the stakes could not be higher.
For the Nigerian champions, it is an opportunity to confirm their dominance. For the Togolese, it is about resilience and the fight to extend their tournament journey.

The WAFU B qualifiers represent a crucial step for clubs hoping to book a place in the CAF Women’s Champions League finals later this year. Only the strongest teams from the sub-regional competition advance, and every point in the group stage can be decisive.
With Bayelsa Queens seeking to stamp their authority and ASKO fighting to avoid elimination, the encounter promises intensity, drama and potentially season-defining consequences for both sides.
