Gusau charges Bayelsa Queens not to return empty-handed

The president of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has charged Bayelsa Queens to win the third place match of the ongoing CAF Women Champions League.

The Queens lost by the odd goal to ASFAR and will now play Simba Queens of Tanzania for the third place, while ASFAR battle Cup holders Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa in the final.

“Bayelsa Queens gave their best in the semi finals of the CAF Women Champions League in Morocco against home team, ASFAR FC. I was hoping they would reach the final so that we would go and support them but they were not disgraced all the same.

SPONSOR AD

“They should take the lessons from the defeat to do better next time. They should also fight hard for the bronze medals in order not to come back home empty-handed,” he said.

In the same vein, Gusau charged Super Eagle B to learn from their recent defeats while praising Rivers United FC for persevering to remain the only Nigerian team in this year’s CAF inter-club competitions.

The Pride of Rivers battled Al Naser FC to a 1-1 draw at the Benina Martys Stadium in Benghazi, Libya, to advance to the CAF Confederation Cup group stage on a 6-1 overall score.
