CAF Women’s Champions League 2026 | Semifinals
- FC Lekie vs AS FAR – 3 PM, EAT
- Kawempe Muslim vs Mamelodi Sundowns – 6 PM, EAT
Kawempe Muslim will seek to continue their cinderella story at the ongoing CAF Women’s Champions League as they take on two-time winners Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday.
The Valley Warriors have already taken the tournament by storm on their debut, punching above their weight to reach the semifinals.
On their way to the last four, Kawempe Muslim stunned defending Champions AS FAF, defeating them 3-2 in the group phase.
Such performances have seen many pay more attention to the Ugandan representatives, and Mamelodi Sundowns can therefore not afford to downplay them.
Coach Ayub Khalifa Kiyingi says his charges are more than ready to face the South African Giants and believes they have what it takes to reach the final.
“The team is prepared and ready for the task ahead of us. We have been growing stronger by every game we play, and I believe we have what it takes to go all the way,” said Khalifa.
However, the coach stated that there are some areas that needed some dressing, and it is what they have worked on going into today’s game.
“We have had concerns in the way we defend, and that is where our main focus has been, coming into this game, and I believe there will be some improvement,” he added.
In the other semifinal, Morocco’s AS FAR, who are the reigning champions, will take on FC Lekie, another debutant at the tournament from Cameroon.
