“We expect a very competitive tournament which will see some new teams and others return after a year. The standard of Women’s Football in the Zone keeps improving and this we have noted during this qualifier,” Yusuf Mossi, the CECAFA Competitions Manager said.
Police arrive in the competition to replace Vihiga Queens who finished second in the just concluded FKFWPL. Vihiga, Simba Queens (Tanzania) and JKT Queens (Tanzania) are the teams that have represented the Zone in the last three CAF Women’s Champions League.
In the first edition held in Egypt 2021, Vihiga Queens failed to make it out of the Group after picking only one win against Morocco’s AS FAR. In 2022 Simba Queens went all the way to the semi-final stage where they lost 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns. Last year when the event was held in Ivory Coast, JKT Queens failed to make it out of the group after they lost two matches and only registered a 2-1 win against Athletico Football Club of Abidjan (Ivory Coast).
