Nigeria’s Edo Queens and Ghana’s Ampem Darkoa must finish their qualifier before either can claim the remaining place at Africa’s women’s club finals. CAF says stoppage time resumes in Cairo on October 29.
The November 1–15 tournament has two groups. The eventual WAFU B qualifier joins Morocco’s AS FAR, Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies and Mali’s USFAS Bamako in Group B.
The first fixtures and the route to the final
FUS Rabat meet Lekié on November 1 at 14:00, before Masar face Sundowns at 17:00. On November 2, AS FAR play Kawempe at 14:00; USFAS meet the WAFU B representative at 17:00. These are Cairo local times.
The semi-finals are scheduled for November 11, with each group winner facing the other group’s runner-up. The third-place match follows on November 14. The final is set for November 15 at 17:00 at Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia.
A young competition with growing history
Egypt also hosted the inaugural competition in 2021, following CAF’s decision to establish it in June 2020. CAF’s accompanying history records that video assistant referees were introduced for the semi-finals and final of that first edition. The tournament therefore returns to its first host with several seasons of continental club competition behind it.
CAF’s historical scoring table puts Sundowns’ Melinda Kgadiete on seven goals across the 2021–24 editions. It also records six-goal individual tournaments for AS FAR’s Ibtissam Jraïdi in 2022 and Doha El Madani in 2024. Those figures offer background to the competition; they do not confirm a player’s selection or fitness for this edition.
What supporters should check next
For supporters planning around the fixtures, the immediate step is to check CAF’s confirmation after the October 29 resumption. Save kick-off times with the Cairo time zone, and confirm any broadcast, ticket or travel arrangements separately. A published fixture gives a date to plan around; admission and viewing access need their own confirmation.
