Bayesla Queens have booked their place in the semifinals of the 2025 WAFU B Women’s Champions League qualifiers after cruising past Benin Republic’s Sam Nelly FC with a commanding 4–1 victory.
The Prosperity Girls, who are defending champions of the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL), put up a dominant display in their final group-stage match to underline their credentials as strong contenders for the regional crown.
Midfielder Janet Seimeyeha Akekoromowei and striker Shakirat Moshood got the goals rolling for Bayelsa Queens, giving the Prosperity girls an early advantage.
Despite their dominance, Sam Nelly managed to pull one back through Kaul Favour, who struck in the 44th minute to restore some hope for the Beninese side.
But Bayelsa Queens were relentless after the break. Alaba Adebiyi extended their lead with a composed finish before Akekoromowei completed her brace to put the game beyond reach, sealing a deserved 4–1 win.
The result not only propels Bayelsa Queens into the semifinals but also reignites their ambition of reclaiming the WAFU B title they last won in 2022. The Nigerian side is eyeing a return to the CAF Women’s Champions League finals, three years after securing a historic third-place finish in Morocco.
With their fluid attacking play, solid midfield control, and clinical finishing, the Prosperity Girls have now established themselves as one of the favorites to lift the 2025 WAFU B Cup and secure qualification to the continent’s premier women’s club competition.
