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.

The team won 18 trophies and was decorated with several medals at the Awolowo Cup, Teslim Elias Cup, Remi Tinubu Cup, Oba Epe Cup, Lakeside Amateur Championship, and Adamaasule Foundation Cup among others.
