The highly anticipated encounter is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 24, in Enugu, with the Lafia-based side aiming to book a place in the final and continue their impressive run in the competition.
Sports247 reports that Danjuma heads into the fixture full of confidence after guiding Nasarawa Amazons to a dramatic quarter-final victory over reigning Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) champions Edo Queens.
Following a tense goalless draw in regulation time in Anyigba, Kogi State, the Amazons held their nerve to triumph 5-3 in the penalty shootout and advance to the last four.
Speaking ahead of the semi-final, the experienced coach stressed the importance of maintaining concentration against a formidable Sunshine Queens side while reminding his players that their collective effort has brought them this far.
“We have worked hard to reach this stage, and now we must give everything on the pitch. Sunshine Queens are a strong side, but we believe in our quality and our ability to achieve our objective. The players must remain focused and fight for every ball,” Danjuma said.
The coach’s message reflects the determination within the Nasarawa Amazons camp as they seek to add another trophy to the club’s illustrious history. Known for their resilience and competitive spirit, the Lafia Landladies have consistently been among the leading teams in Nigerian women’s football and are eager to translate that pedigree into Federation Cup success.
Victory over Sunshine Queens would secure a coveted place in the final and move the team one step closer to lifting one of the country’s most prestigious domestic trophies.
With confidence boosted by their elimination of the NWFL champions and momentum firmly on their side, Nasarawa Amazons are expected to approach the semi-final with belief and intensity.
Backed by loyal supporters and inspired by Danjuma’s leadership, the team will be aiming to produce another memorable performance as they pursue silverware.
As kickoff approaches in Enugu, all eyes will be on whether Nasarawa Amazons can rise to the occasion once again and continue their quest for President Federation Cup glory.
