African adventure!

In our latest episode of The COSAFA Show we discuss the ongoing
CAF Women’s Champions League | COSAFA Qualifiers taking place
this week and next in the Malawian city of Blantyre.


Only the winners will join holders Mamelodi Sundowns in the
continental finals later this year, with five teams making their
debut in the regional qualifiers.


We hear first from COSAFA Executive Director Sue
Destombes about the tournament and being back in Malawi
for another COSAFA event.


University of the Western Cape are representing South Africa
having been runners-up to Sundowns in the last three editions of
the domestic Women’s Super League. We hear from their coach
Thinasonke Mbuli.


Ascent Academy will be the home team in Malawi, even if they are
from the city of Lilongwe. They have a very young group of
players but are packed with talent, as their coach Thom
Mkolongo explains to us.


Herentals Queens will make their debut at the regional qualifiers
as the first team from Zimbabwe to compete since the inaugural
tournament in 2021. Midfielder Sikulekile Nyoni
tells us a little more about the team.
