CAWCL Final: Sundowns And ASFAR FC Get A Bite At History

Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji

South Africa and Morocco will once again face off in the final of the women’s football competition in 2022.

More Details

This time it will be at the club level after both sides met in the final of the Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON 2022) in Morocco.

The same venue and similar setup as the host, ASFAR FC of Morocco welcomes Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies of South Africa at the Stade Moulay Abdellah in the final of the 2022 CAF Women’s Champions League on Sunday.

It will be a repeat of WAFCON 2022 where South Africa edged Morocco 2-1 to win its first WAFCON title.

Both Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and ASFAR FC are yet to lose any game in this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League.

The two teams have won all four games and hold a joint record for highest number of consecutive wins at the 2022 CAF Women’s Champions League.

ASFAR FC had a similar record at the tournament this year with victories over Simba Queens of Tanzania (1-0), Green Buffaloes of Zambia (2-1), Determine Girls of Liberia (2-0), and Bayelsa Queens of Nigeria (1-0).

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies won the maiden edition in Egypt last year defeating Hasaacas Ladies FC of Ghana 2-0 while ASFAR FC earned a 3-1 win over Malabo Kings of Equatorial Guinea in the third-place match.

A win for Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will ensure that the South African Champions emerge as back-to-back Champions while ASFAR FC will attempt to win its first African women’s club title.
