The Lagos Queens Cup continues on Thursday at the Legacy Pitch, Surulere, with four matches lined up from 7:00am to 10:00am. After an exciting opening day that produced 10 goals and dominant displays, teams will be looking to build momentum as the tournament progresses.
The day begins with Dannaz Ladies vs CATS Ladies, followed by a big clash at 8:00am between Ayisat Yusuf FA and Asisat Oshoala Academy. At 9:00am, Dreamstar Ladies face FC Robo Queens in what promises to be a tough test, before Victory Queens take on Nakamura FA at 10:00am to round off the morning session.
The tournament’s scouting mission takes center stage on Day 2 with Faith Ikidi-Michael, Maiju Ruotsalainen, Marko Saranlinna, and James Burgin all expected in attendance. The presence of scouts from Finland and Sweden alongside Nigerian legend Ikidi-Michael underscores the Lagos Queens Cup’s goal of creating direct links between local talent and professional clubs abroad.
The Lagos Queens Cup is proudly supported by Lagos State Football Association, 36 Lion Investment, Herizon Sports Initiative, Ayisat Yusuf Football Foundation, Diego Nakamura, Ivory Health Club, and Africa Football Empowerment Congress. Their backing has made it possible to host Nigeria’s first dedicated women’s football scouting tournament and bring credible international exposure to players.
