Lagos-based female football club, Lakeside Queens Football Academy, is set to compete in the continental soccer tournament tagged: ‘Flying Officers Cup’ taking place in Abuja from October 10 – 20, 2021.
According to the club’s spokesman, Lakeside Queens will take on other professional women premier league teams in Nigeria and Africa at the tournament.
Since Lakeside Queens debuted seven years ago at the grassroots level, it has been struggling hard to feature at the continental level.
Affiliated with the Lagos State Football Association (LSFA) and Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Lakeside Queens, which is presently playing in the Lagos Federation Cup championship, has emerged as one of the best amateur women teams in Nigeria.
