Ghanaian champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies secured their place in the final of the 2026 WAFU B Women’s Champions League Qualifiers with a 4-1 victory over Benin's Dynamique FC. Milot Pokuaa led the scoring with a brace, showcasing her goal-scoring prowess to guide Charles Anokye's side to a decisive semi-final win. Ampem Darkoa dominated from the start, almost scoring early but having their effort saved by the Dynamique goalkeeper.

The breakthrough came in the 16th minute, with Pokuaa calmly finishing from a well-executed move from the back. Pokuaa then provided the assist for Rebecca Assemani to double Ampem Darkoa's lead. Beline Nyarko created an opportunity, setting up Gloria Adomako to score her second goal of the tournament, putting Nana Mma firmly in control.

Dynamique FC managed to pull a goal back in the second half, but any hopes of a comeback were swiftly ended as Pokuaa scored her second goal of the night to further cement Ampem Darkoa's three-goal advantage. Captain Victoria Bangui had a late chance to add a fifth goal from the penalty spot, but failed to convert as the match concluded 4-1.

Ampem Darkoa will now face Nigeria's Edo Queens in the final, a rematch of their Group B encounter, in their pursuit of a spot in the CAF Women’s Champions League.
