The much-anticipated semi-finals of CAF Women’s Champions League will be played today, Wednesday, 09 November 2022 at the Prince Heritier Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat.
For the semi-finals, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa will face Simba Queens FC of Tanzania while ASFAR of Morocco will face Bayelsa Queens FC of Nigeria.
Bayelsa Queens defied the odds following a slow start to the ongoing tournament in Morocco after being stunned in thier debut game loosing 2-1 against Mamelodi Sundowns which very much looked like the end of the road for them but they made an incredible bounce back and they are closer to the finals than ever having turned the tides in thier favor.
Giving it another shot, the Yenagoa based outfit bounced back from the opening defeat to Trounce Congolese team, TP Mazembe in a 3-0 scoreline, a win that brought relief if they were to go further in the competition.
Alongside hosts, ASFAR, title holders Mamelodi Sundowns, Simba Queens, Bayelsa Queens booked CAF Women’s Champions League semis spot following thier win against Egyptian side Wadi Delga to scale through.
The Yenegoa based outfit are never ad confident as they are now and are willing to put out all in their arsenal. It is now or never as they line up to play the host team today.
