We see Edo Queens’ acquisition of Charlotte Adjei as a shrewd and strategic move. A goalkeeper honoured as the best in the NWFL Premiership brings more than skill she brings leadership from the back, composure under pressure, and a winning mentality. Such attributes are essential, especially for clubs aiming for sustained success across multiple fronts.

Her proven track record ten clean sheets and a recognised Safe Hands award  sends a clear message Edo Queens intend to defend their reputation and challenge on all fronts. Players decorated in one season often elevate team morale and set standards that inspire colleagues.

The manner of her signing reflects professionalism. Involving state officials underscores the collaborative backing behind women’s football, while public acknowledgement of the acquisition builds momentum among supporters. It portrays a club with ambition and structure, rather than mere assembly of players.

bet9ja.comAdjei’s continental exploits with Ampem Darkoa and Rivers Angels bolster her case. Exposure to CAF competitions means she brings familiarity with international styles and high-stakes fixtures. As Edo look towards the CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers, they’ll need a keeper used to the pressure cooker of cross-border clashes.

This signing strengthens our conviction that Edo Queens are establishing a platform for long-term excellence. By bringing in proven performers and backing them with institutional support, the club signals it’s ready to contend  both in Nigeria and across Africa.
