Ampem Darkoa Ladies’ lose quarter final tie to AS FAR

Ampem Darkoa Ladies' aspirations of advancing to the semi-finals of the 2026 CAF Women's Champions League were dashed following a 2-0 defeat to reigning champions AS FAR. The pivotal moment came with goalkeeper Rose Baah's red card, a decision that proved crucial in the match's outcome. Ghana's champions had started the Group B campaign impressively, defeating Mali's USFAS Bamako 5-1 and narrowly beating Uganda's Kawempe Muslim Ladies 2-1.

However, the result against AS FAR marked a dramatic shift in the team's fortunes. After keeping a tight game alive with a crucial penalty save at half-time, Baah was sent off just five minutes into the second half for an incident involving an opponent. With 10 players left on the field, Ampem Darkoa struggled to mount a comeback, ultimately finishing third in the mini-table and failing to reach the semi-finals.

Despite securing two wins and scoring seven goals in the group stage, the Ghanaian side will return home disheartened. The team must now focus on the Women's Premier League, seeking to defend their domestic title and create another opportunity to compete on the African stage.
