Ampem Darkoa Ladies miss CAF Women’s Champions League ticket

Ghanaian football club Ampem Darkoa Ladies have failed to secure a spot in the CAF Women’s Champions League following their defeat to Nigeria’s Edo Queens in the WAFU Zone B finals. The match, held at the August 4 Stadium in Ouagadougou, ended in a 4-1 penalty shootout victory for Edo Queens, despite a tense 2-2 draw in regulation time.

The result comes as a significant setback for Ampem Darkoa, who entered the final with an impressive record of four wins from their four matches, including a 2-1 victory over Edo Queens in the group stage. In the penalty shootout, Edo Queens demonstrated resilience, converting all four penalties while Ampem Darkoa managed a single successful penalty.

This comes after Edo Queens won their semi-final match against USFA with a convincing 5-1 scoreline. For Ampem Darkoa Ladies, the loss marks a disappointing end to what had been a promising season, as they fall short of returning to Africa’s top women’s club competition.
