Editorial
We believe this upcoming final between Ijamido Queens and Wazbak International is not just a match — it’s a turning point in women’s football within the WAFA zone. When two rising teams face off on a platform like the Super 8, the stakes become greater than silverware: it’s about identity, reputation, and the chance to raise the standard for others.
Ijamido Queens have shown resilience and consistency to reach this stage. Wazbak International, too, have demonstrated tactical depth and ambition. The final will test more than skill it will test nerves, resourcefulness, and the ability to manage pressure. On such stages, marginal errors are magnified, and composure often separates the winners from the rest.
We hope that both clubs treat this not just as a moment, but as a foundation. Winning would grant pride and recognition, but participating in a well-contested final bolsters credibility. For the players, this is a moment to etch their names for fans, a moment to invest emotionally. If the league continues producing finals of this magnitude and competitive balance, women’s in the region will be on an upward trajectory.
