Ghana women’s football champions Sekondi Hasaacas Ladies will feature against Nigeria’s Rivers Angels and Association Sportive de la Police from Niger in WAFU Zone B.

The teams will begin their quest for a place in the maiden edition of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League 2021 competition to be played in Egypt.

The maiden CAF Women’s Champions League competition was introduced by CAF to develop women’s football product in Africa. It will feature top teams from all over the continent.

To decide the teams that will participate at the final competition in Egypt later this year, Zonal Qualifiers will be played as eliminatory rounds.

The top six teams (one from each CAF Zone) and the host of the final tournament (Egypt) as well as one extra team from the Zone holding the title of the previous Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (2018) will qualify to the final tournament.

Group A is made of Onze Soeurs de Gagnoa of Cote d’Ivoire, Union Sportive des forces Armees from Burkina Faso and Togolese side Amis du Monde FC.

The zonal qualifiers will take place from July 17 to 30 in Abidjan at the Robert Champroux stadium.
Also, draws for UNAF and CECAFA zones will be held this week.
