Nasarawa Amazons Lift 2026 Women’s President Federation Cup After 6-5 Shootout Win

Nasarawa Amazons Lift 2026 Women’s President Federation Cup After 6-5 Shootout Win

Nasarawa Amazons claimed the 2026 Nigeria Women’s President Federation Cup with a dramatic 6-5 penalty shootout victory over Heartland Queens at Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba. Heartland Queens took the lead early in the second half through Johnson Chizoba, but substitute Judith Adaobi levelled in the 69th minute to force extra drama. Neither side found a winner in regulation time, sending the final to spot kicks. In the shootout, Amazons held their nerve to convert all six attempts and secure their third Cup title, adding to triumphs in 2005 and 2019. Attention now shifts to the men’s final between El-Kanemi Warriors and Ikorodu City.

That 6-5 penalty shootout win was thrilling, but a penalty contest rarely proves who's consistently stronger throughout the tournament.

Totally, penalties are tense but not the full picture—keen to know if the Amazons controlled most of the match.

I wouldn't say Nasarawa Amazons fully earned the title if they needed penalties after almost letting that early Chizoba goal slip momentum.

Coaches should prioritise penalty practice and plan impactful substitutions, seeing how substitutes like Judith can change momentum in a final.
