Wikipedia - CAF Women's Champions League
The CAF Women's Champions League (French: Ligue des Champions Féminine de la CAF; Arabic: دوري أبطال إفريقيا للسيدات), sometimes abbreviated as CAF WCL, is an annual African women's association football club competition launched on 12 September 2020 and organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). It is the female counterpart of the CAF Champions League.
History
CAF cancelled the 2020 Women's Africa Cup of Nations at a virtual executive meeting on 30 June citing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on association football in Africa as the reason and rather approved the creation of the CAF Women's Champions League which launched on 12 September that year. South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns won the inaugural title 2-0 against Hasaacas Ladies of Ghana in Cairo.
On 18 April 2022, CAF issued a press release to its member associations wishing to engage their domestic league champions in the qualification procedures for the 2022 edition to submit viable club licensing documents to them by 31 May. That edition was won by AS FAR of Morocco after beating then-defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns 4-0 in the final.
On 19 May 2023, CAF named Ivory Coast as host for the 3rd edition of the tournament, posing it as part of the country's preparations and readiness to stage the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in January and February 2024. South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns reclaimed their title 3-0 against SC Casablanca from Morocco.
On 15 October 2024, CAF announced Morocco as the hosts for the 4th edition of the tournament. TP Mazembe of the DR Congo won 1-0 against hosts AS FAR of Morocco.
