Football

FC Robo Queens of Lagos, conquerors of multi-titlists Rivers Angels in the quarterfinals, will fancy their chances today against Heartland Queens of Owerri in the first semifinal of this year’s President Federation Cup women’s competition at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.

However, the girls from Owerri have the mettle to put up their own arguments in the 90-minute encounter, having eliminated Dragon Fury Ladies, Ahudiyannem Queens and Ibom Angels on their way to the last four stage.

On their part, Lagos-based Robo Queens saw off Rangers Women of Enugu, Remo Stars Ladies and Rivers Angels

Most women football followers saw the defeat of Rivers Angels by the Queens in the semifinals as an upset, and are already tipping the Lagos girls for a place in the grand finale scheduled for July 11 in Asaba.

In the second semifinal, Sunshine Queens from Akure will tango with highly-rated Nasarawa Amazons from Lafia at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, with 4 pm also the kick-off time.
