Edo Queens are the 2025-26 NWFL Premiership champions. The final day of the Super Six at the Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt produced no goals across either fixture, but Edo Queens needed none. Their ten points from five matches were enough to hold off both Bayelsa Queens and Nasarawa Amazons, who both finished the competition on eight points. The title belongs to Benin City, to Moses Aduku and his squad, and to a club that has now claimed the NWFL crown for the second time in their history.

Final NWFL Super Six Standings
🏆 Edo Queens — 10 points (CHAMPIONS)
Bayelsa Queens — 8 points
Nasarawa Amazons — 8 points
The mathematics were always in Edo Queens’ favour going into the final day. Leading by two points with one match remaining, they needed only a draw against the reigning champions to secure the title regardless of what Nasarawa Amazons did in the simultaneous fixture. They got exactly that, holding Bayelsa Queens goalless across 90 minutes in a match that reflected the weight of what was at stake from both sides. Bayelsa pushed for the win that would have kept their slim title hopes alive. Edo Queens defended that draw with the composure of a group that had been building toward this moment across an entire Super Six campaign that began with a defeat and ended with a trophy. Nigerian women’s football fans celebrating with Edo Queens can find the latest content and Bet9ja offers through Bet9ja’s today’s games page as the NWFL season concludes.
How the Title Was Built
Edo Queens’ 2025-26 NWFL title was not won on the final day alone. It was constructed across a Super Six campaign that began with a defeat their lowest point in the playoff and was rebuilt with three consecutive victories that placed them in the commanding position they entered the final matchday from. The most dramatic of those victories came in the 6-2 demolition of Abia Angels on Matchday Three, a result in which Chioma Moses scored four times and which functioned as the single most emphatic individual statement of quality in the entire Super Six. Chioma Moses’ Golden Boot run throughout the competition placed her at the top of the individual scoring charts and confirmed that Edo Queens had the most devastating attacking threat of any Super Six club.
The defence that held Bayelsa Queens scoreless on the final day was equally important to the title’s construction. Five matches without conceding across the championship’s crucial phase was an achievement that reflected the tactical organisation Aduku had instilled, and it meant that when the final day arrived requiring only a point, the squad had already demonstrated they were capable of keeping clean sheets against the competition’s most dangerous opponents. The balance between Chioma Moses’ attacking output and the defensive platform beneath it is what a championship team looks like.

Bayelsa Queens and Nasarawa Amazons Fall Short
The reigning champions leave Port Harcourt as runners up. Bayelsa Queens had every opportunity across the Super Six to defend their title and could not find the consistency required to overhaul an Edo Queens side whose points total moved beyond their reach too early. Their eight points place them second, above Nasarawa Amazons only by goal difference or head to head record, in what has been one of the most competitive Super Six campaigns in the competition’s history.
Nasarawa Amazons who produced the two most discussed individual moments of the Super Six in Blessing Ogungbure’s Matchday One performance and Ayatsea Hembafan’s stoppage-time Matchday Two winner ultimately ran out of matches to narrow the gap. Their three point Matchday Three defeat to FC Robo Queens was the moment that allowed Edo Queens breathing room, and the final day draw against Rivers Angels confirmed that the gap could not be closed. It is a painful end to a campaign that began with enormous promise.

Moses Aduku’s Finest Moment
Moses Aduku has won the NWFL Premiership title as head coach of Edo Queens and done so in a competition that tested his squad’s character from the opening fixture. He asked his players not to celebrate before the job was done. They listened and delivered. The two points that separated Edo Queens from Bayelsa Queens and Nasarawa Amazons at the final whistle represent the product of every tactical decision made across five playoff matches, every training session in Port Harcourt between fixtures, and every goal contribution from a squad whose individual awards haul individual nominations, top performer recognition, Golden Boot leadership reflected a collective determination that coaching alone cannot manufacture but can absolutely shape. Edo Queens are champions. The Super Six is over. Nigerian women’s football has a new champion, and they are from Benin City.
