Edo Queens Snatch Ogbuchi from FC Robo in Title Bid

Edo Queens are signaling their intent to reclaim the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) title, securing a significant acquisition in defender Chidinma Ogbuchi ahead of the 2025-26 season. Ogbuchi joins the former champions from rival club FC Robo Queens, marking one of the most notable transfers in the off-season window.

This signing positions Ogbuchi as the latest high-profile addition to Coach Moses Aduku’s ambitious squad, which is undergoing a major reshuffle aimed at wrestling back dominance in the league. The club’s recruitment drive has been aggressive, with Edo Queens officially announcing the signing of seven new players this week alone.

The Benin-based club, which ceded the title to Bayelsa Queens last season, is determined to return to the summit of Nigerian women’s football. The management and coaching staff are clearly aiming for an immediate impact, targeting experienced players who can provide the necessary defensive solidity and winning mentality.

The stakes for the season could not be higher, and fate has already set the stage for a spectacular start. Edo Queens will kick-start their NWFL campaign with a colossal clash against the defending champions, Bayelsa Queens. This opening fixture will serve as an immediate test of Aduku’s revamped squad and their potential to challenge for the championship once again. The acquisition of Ogbuchi, known for her reliability in defense, is a clear statement of intent as they prepare for this high-octane start and the season-long pursuit of the title.
