History

Bayelsa Queens was founded by former governor of Bayelsa State Diepreye Alamieyeseigha in 2000. The NWFL board documents that the club was the first female club in Nigeria to have her pre-season abroad in 2007.

The club is also known as Restoration Girls, a name motivated by the government of the state.[5]
