Bayelsa Queens FC have once again etched their name in Nigerian football history, clinching their sixth NWFL Premiership title in grand style under the sterling leadership of Pastor Robin Angonimi Apreala. The oil-rich Niger Delta club, backed by sheer resilience, discipline, and tactical brilliance, triumphed over Naija Ratels FC with a commanding 4-1 victory in the Super Six Playoff finale at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne.
The Road to Glory
The match kicked off with a flourish, as Vera Samuel fired Bayelsa Queens ahead in the 27th minute with a clinical strike. However, Naija Ratels responded fiercely, leveling the scoreline in the 43rd minute through Tuminimu Adeshina, setting the stage for a fiery second half.
Refusing to be outdone, the Prosperity Girls roared back after the break, with Cynthia Mega reclaiming the lead in the 61st minute. Samuel wasn’t done yet—she tore through Ratels’ defense in the 67th minute, sealing her hat-trick and sending Bayelsa Queens into an unstoppable celebration.
A Legacy of Excellence
Chairman Pastor Robin Angonimi Apreala, appointed in 2021, has now masterminded two NWFL triumphs, ending a trophy drought that had plagued the team since 2018. Under his stewardship, Bayelsa Queens have transformed into an indomitable force, securing consecutive NWFL trophies and solidifying their status as the most dominant women’s football club in Nigeria.
Their latest victory comes with a monumental achievement—qualification for the WAFU-B Women’s Champions League, where they will battle for supremacy on the continental stage.
With the Queens basking in triumph, one thing is clear: Bayelsa is ruling women’s football, and the future looks even brighter!
