In a significant update for women’s football in West Africa, the WAFU B Zonal Executive Committee has announced new dates for the much-anticipated 2025 CAF Women’s Champions League Zonal Qualifiers. Originally planned for earlier in the year, the qualifiers will now run from August 23 to September 4, 2025, with Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, proudly retaining hosting rights.

The decision follows a comprehensive operational review by the Committee, aimed at enhancing tournament readiness and allowing organizers ample time to refine logistics. The shift underscores WAFU B’s strong commitment to staging a well-coordinated, high-caliber competition that reflects the growing momentum of women’s football in the region.

While the venue remains unchanged, the updated schedule brings renewed energy and clarity to clubs preparing for the showdown. Among them is Ghana’s Police Ladies, champions of the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League, who will carry the nation’s hopes as they step onto the regional stage.

Details surrounding the group stage draw will be unveiled soon, with the official date to be communicated in the coming days. All member associations have been formally notified, with clubs urged to align their preparations with the revised timeline.

To ensure seamless communication and support, the WAFUB Secretariat has reaffirmed its readiness to assist clubs and national federations in navigating the run-up to the tournament. This proactive engagement reflects the collaborative spirit at the heart of the qualifiers.

As the countdown begins, anticipation is growing for what promises to be a thrilling celebration of talent, teamwork, and the relentless rise of women’s football in West Africa.
