AS FAR will play in Group A of the African Women’s Football Champions League, scheduled for November 9 to 23 in Morocco, following the draw carried out on Friday at the Mohammed VI football complex in Salé.
AS FAR, winner of the tournament in 2022, will challenge the Aigles de la Médina (Senegal), TP Mazembe (DR Congo) and the University of Western Cape (South Africa) in this group.
Group B consists of the South Africans from Mamelodi Sundowns (defending holders), the Egyptians from Tutankhamun, the Ethiopians from Commercial Bank of Ethiopia FC and the Nigerians from Edo Queens.
AS FAR will open the ball on November 9 against the Aigles de la Médina, before crossing swords with TP Mazembe three days later. She will return to the University of Western Cape on November 15.
The top two in each group will advance to the semi-finals scheduled for November 19. The match for 3rd place will take place on the 22nd of the same month, while the final will be played on November 23.
If the competition will be marked by the participation of tournament regulars, in this case Mamelodi Sundowns, AS FAR and TP Mazembe, who are making their return after missing the last edition in Ivory Coast, the five other clubs will discover the Champions League for the first time. Morocco’s hosting of this competition follows the successful organization of the CAF TotalEnergies 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, which was also a resounding success, welcomed the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Morocco had already had the honor of hosting the 2022 edition of the women’s LDC, the most important women’s club football competition in Africa.
