The stage is set for the second edition of the Betsy Obaseki Women Football Tournament as the Organizers have announced Wednesday, September 7, 2022, as the new date for the second edition of the money-spinning invitational tournament and declared maximum readiness to host yet another exciting women’s football tournament.

The draws will take place at the new Festival Hall, Edo State Government House, Benin City.

The tournament will see 10 Premiership teams and 2 Nationwide clubs – beyond battling for the grand prize – use their platform to preach against “Drug Abuse” – a central theme of the tournament.

It would be recalled that the draw was earlier scheduled for August 24, 2022, according to the tournament’s planning committee general secretary, Mrs Sabina Chikere, the draw was postponed after revisiting the plans and programs of the tournament and reaching conclusions on postponing the draws to the arrival date.

“We had necessary meetings and deliberation and concluded that it will be in the good of everyone involved in this to have the draws postponed till a later date.”

“To make things convenient for everyone and make the eve of the tournament more glamorous to the last edition, we decided to shift the date till the arrival date for all Participating teams – September 7, 2022.”

The soft-spoken administrator however assures all fans and women football faithful of a well-planned tournament that will beat the imagination of many.

“Everything is in place for the tournament as we anticipate the arrivals of teams from tomorrow, Monday.”

The first edition of Betsy Obaseki Women Football Tournament was won by Bayelsa Queens after defeating Rivers Angels via kicks from the penalty mark in the final at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.
