Bayelsa Queens defensive midfielder, Vera Samuel has expressed her joy after winning her second Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership title with Bayelsa Queens on Saturday.
She initially won the league with Delta Queens in 2023 in Asaba.
The Prosperity Girls defeated Naija Ratels 4-1 as Samuel scored three goals to propel the Yenegoa based side to win the league title after Nasarawa Amazons played out a 0-0 draw with Edo Queens.
“I feel so excited and very grateful to God for giving me the opportunity again to represent Nigeria and Bayelsa Queens,” She said.
With continental exercise at her disposal with Delta Queens and Edo Queens, Samuel hopes to help Nigerian clinch their first CAF Women’s Champions League title.
“We couldn’t win it with Delta Queens and Edo Queens, so I am very delighted and hopeful that God gave me the opportunity to go and bring the CAF Women’s Champions League title to Nigeria.
“What God cannot do doesn’t exist. I can’t explain it. I can’t say it is luck or by my power.
“I am very sure Bayelsa Queens have a lot to offer. Coming from the unbeaten regular season to the Super Six is not an easy job. I believe we will come back with the CAF Women’s Champions League this year.”
Bayelsa Queens will now focus on the WAFU-B title challenge with the aim of winning it and making it to the CAF Women’s Champions League.
