Defending champions, FC Robo, were yesterday booted out of the ongoing Betsy Obaseki Women Football Tournament (BOWFT) by emerging force in women’s football, Remo Stars Ladies of Ikenne.
The game likened to a clash of sisters, as both teams are from the southwest region, had no sisterly tint as Remo Stars Ladies set out to show that they are a new force in Nigerian football.
Just when fans at the mini stadium thought the game was all for FC Remo, the Wemimo Matthew-led Remo Stars Ladies came out smoking after the water break, with Ibrahim Hannah getting the equaliser off a well-taken corner kick. The win has set up a potentially explosive game between Remo Stars Ladies and Edo Queens in the semifinals.The second semifinal pits Bayelsa Queens, who beat Ekiti United 4-1, against Delta Queens, a 3-1 victor over Nasarawa Amazons in the last quarterfinal of the competition yesterday.Super Falcons Head Coach, Randy Waldrum, will not be in charge of the women’s national team when they meet Ethiopia’s Lucy in the decisive leg of their Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualifier in Abuja this week.
