NWFL Premiership champions Edo Queens have strengthened their squad ahead of their CAF continental campaign with the signing of Adegbuyi Oluwakemi from fellow top-flight side FC Robo Queens.
Sports247 reports that the Benin City-based champions announced the arrival of the highly-rated forward as they continue to assemble a formidable squad for the challenges ahead, with Adegbuyi bringing speed, skill and fearless attacking qualities to the reigning Nigerian champions.
Adegbuyi arrives in Benin City on the back of an outstanding individual campaign with FC Robo Queens, where her performances earned her the prestigious NWFL 2025/26 Player of the Season award as well as the Golden Ball.
Her consistency throughout the campaign established her as one of the standout performers in the Nigerian women’s top flight. She played a key role in FC Robo’s campaign and was impressed with her attacking ability, confidence, and influence in crucial moments.
Now, the talented player faces a new challenge with Edo Queens, who will be counting on her qualities as they prepare to represent Nigeria on the continental stage.
The move represents another significant milestone in Adegbuyi’s career, offering her the opportunity to compete at a higher level and test herself against some of Africa’s best women’s football clubs.
Edo Queens’ decision to secure the services of the reigning NWFL Player of the Season also underlines their ambition to remain competitive domestically while making a strong impression in CAF competition.
For Adegbuyi, the transition from Lagos to Benin City marks the beginning of a fresh chapter. Having already established herself as one of the league’s leading talents, expectations will be high for her to reproduce the form that earned her the Golden Ball.
The champions will hope her pace, technical ability, and fearless approach can provide another attacking dimension as they embark on their continental adventure.
With the transfer, Edo Queens have not just added another player to their squad—they have acquired one of the most decorated performers from the previous NWFL season.
