The Sheroes Cup showdown will be the first time ever the premier leaguers are meeting themselves in the unarguably the biggest and glamorous preseason in the land.
Both sides were inactions on the commencement matchday 1 actions on Monday, November 18 at the FIFA Goal Project ground that saw early birders, Remo Stars Ladies pip Ekiti Queens 1-0 in the South West derby, while Bayelsa Queens edged hosts team side, Naija Ratels 2-1 to wrap up the day starters.
The Sheroes Cup showpiece on Tuesday presents the sides perhaps the rarest opportunity to finish off the bragging contest they could not complete during the just concluded 2023/2024 NWFL Premiership season.
