TP Mazembe are officially the champions of the CAF Women’s Champions League Morocco 2024 following their 1-0 win over hosts AS FAR on Saturday night at the El Jadida’s Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi stadium.
With the crowd backing the hosts, Mazembe showed great resilience and courage in taking the match to the former champions who remain searching for an elusive second title for them.

The deciding goal of the tournament’s fourth edition came courtesy of a converted spot kick by Marlene Kasaj in the opening 10 minutes, which Mazembe protected throughout the match to seal the historic victory.
Despite the early concession, AS FAR kept believing and surged forward in search of the leveller, but a resolute Mazembe defense kept the clean sheet throughout the opening half.
Coming back from the break, surprisingly, Mazembe looked more dangerous as they came out strong in an attempt to kill off the game.
The hosts eventually found their rhythm but again were met by a disciplined Mazembe defense, who kept the former champions at bay to secure Africa’s most sought-after women’s club football crown.
In addition to the coveted CAF Women’s Champions League trophy, TP Mazembe also take home $600 000 in prize money, while runners-up AS FAR take home $400 000.
