Bayelsa Queens Football Club will depart the country on Sunday ahead of the CAF Womenās Champions League in Morrocco.
Preye Yabrifa, Media Officer of the team, told pressmen on Friday that they would no longer go on a West African tour but would travel straight to Morrocco.
āInitially, we planned to go on a playing tour to countries like Togo and Republic of Benin but due to the flood situation in Bayelsa we couldnāt travel as planned.
āNow, we will go to Morocco and play friendlies with some clubs in the country.
āOur goal is to win the tournament and we are optimistic that we can achieve that ,ā Yabrifa added.
Bayelsa Queens qualified for the tournament after winning the WAFU B Qualifiers for the Womenās Champions League and defeating Ghanaās Ampem Darkoa Ladies 3-0 in the final in CĆ“te dāIvoire.
Eight teams will feature in the final tournament in Morocco from Oct. 30 to Nov. 13. (NAN)
