Semi Final Stage Set For Women’s Champions League Qualifiers CECAFA Zone
 


The semi final stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League 2022 CECAFA Zone qualifiers is finally set.
In-form Commercial Bank of Ethiopia FC who topped Group A will face Uganda’s She Corporate FC in the first semi final clash on Wednesday, while Simba Queens FC (Tanzania) battle AS Kigali WFC (Rwanda) in the second encounter.

On Sunday Commercial Bank of Ethiopia FC (CBE) scored second half goals to sink hard fighting AS Kigali WFC (Rwanda) 2-0 in a Group A match played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Skipper Abera Loza increased her scoring tally in the tournament to nine goals, while Medina Awol Busser also got her name on the score sheet.

Heye Gizaw Birhanu, the CBE head coach said he was delighted that his team made it to the knockout stage after winning all the three group matches. “Our first objective is achieved and now we shift to the semi final where we must plan differently since it is a knock out. But my team is ready to prove a point,” added Birhanu.

Burundi’s youthful side FOFILA PF also made sure they registered their first win in the last Group A match 3-0 against Warriors Queens FC in a match played at the Azam Complex, Chamazi.

Sakina Saidi gave the Burundi Women’s Premier League champions an early lead, while Charlotte Irankunda and Drazila Uweneza also scored later in the second half.

Alphonse Kanega, the FOFILA PF coach says that although his team failed to qualify for the knockout stage, it has been a good experience.
