Ampem Darkoa Ladies Win WAFU Ticket for CAF Champions League
On October 29, Ampem Darkoa Ladies triumphed over Nigeria’s Edo Queens with a score of 3-2 after extra time in Cairo, Egypt, thereby securing the WAFU Zone B ticket for the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League. The match was a rescheduled qualifying final that ended 2-2 after 90 minutes.
Mohammed Afishata scored the winning goal two minutes into extra time, converting from a corner. This result reversed the original final's outcome, where Edo Queens had won 4-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
Ampem Darkoa protested the initial result, claiming the match should have proceeded to extra time before penalties, which the CAF Organising Committee for Women’s Football upheld on September 26. The CAF Appeal Board confirmed this decision on October 16, ordering a resumption of the final from the start of extra time.
Ampem Darkoa will now compete in Group B of the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League alongside AS FAR of Morocco, Kawempe Muslim Ladies from Uganda, and USFAS Bamako from Mali.
