A CAF ruling dated September 26 has removed the earlier penalty-shootout outcome from the WAFU Zone B qualifying final between Edo Queens and Ampem Darkoa Ladies. The teams’ match is not recorded as complete: it is due to continue from the start of extra time with the regulation-time score retained at 2-2.
Penalty shootout has no sporting effect
Both reports say the final had gone directly to penalties after 90 minutes, although the competition procedure required two 15-minute extra-time periods first. Edo Queens’ reported 4-1 shootout result was therefore annulled. The ruling attributed the error to an administrative instruction rather than either club.
What remains to be played
The contest is set to resume with 30 minutes of extra time. If it is still level afterwards, a new shootout will decide the WAFU Zone B qualifier for the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League final tournament. The reports add that WAFU B is to confirm the continuation’s date, kick-off time and venue in consultation with CAF and the national associations.
