By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 23, 2023

Hosts Edo Queens will clash with Naija Ratels of Abuja in the opening match of the third Betsy Obaseki Women’s Football Tournament, which begins on Monday (today) in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

The tournament, in its third edition, is an initiative of the wife of the Edo State Governor, Mrs. Betsy Obaseki, in collaboration with private sector partners to groom and empower the girl-child and engender grassroots sports development in Edo State and Nigeria.

 This year’s edition with the theme, “End Gender-Based Violence,” is targeted at raising awareness and generating public interest in the need to eradicate gender-based violence in all its forms and spotlights the efforts undertaken by the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led government over the past seven years to combat gender-based violence in the State.

Speaking to newsmen in Benin City, the Chairman, Communications Sub-Committee for the tournament, Crusoe Osagie, said all was set for the hosting of the pre-season tournament.

Edo Queens and Ratels are among the 13 teams that will battle for the N60m prize money on offer during the pre-season annual women’s football tournament to be played at four sports facilities in the state — Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, University of Benin Sports Complex, Western Boys Mini-Stadium and the Edo State College of Nursing and Health Sciences Mini-Stadium.
