Nchout Njoya Ajara opened the scoring and provided two assists, while Raissa Nnanga struck twice and contributed another assist as Lekie Football Filles thrashed Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies 5-0 to secure third place at the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League in Egypt.
Lekie FF signed off their maiden CAF Women’s Champions League campaign in emphatic fashion, sweeping aside Kawempe Muslim Ladies 5-0 to claim the bronze medal and confirm their place among Africa’s top three women’s clubs.
Nchout Njoya Ajara was one of the outstanding performers, setting the tone by opening the scoring before providing two assists. Her influence was central to Lekie’s attacking display before she was substituted.
Raissa Nnanga also enjoyed an exceptional afternoon, scoring twice and adding an assist to cap a decisive performance. Tim Shalom, who had already found the net earlier in the competition, scored her second goal of the tournament, while Alexandre Takounda opened her account with her first goal in the continental competition.
The result also carries an important individual significance for Lekie’s attacking department. All six forwards the club took to the competition — Tabe, Nchout Njoya Ajara, Raissa Nnanga, Tim Shalom, Alexandre Takounda and Ngo Biyo — managed to get on the scoresheet during the tournament. It is a reflection of the attacking contributions spread across the squad rather than a campaign built around one goalscorer.
For coach Stéphane Ndzana and his players, the bronze medal represents a remarkable achievement on their first appearance at the continental finals. After navigating a challenging group featuring FUS Rabat, Mamelodi Sundowns and FC Masar, Lekie reached the semi-finals before falling short of the final.
They have now responded with a commanding victory in the third-place match, giving Cameroon a podium finish and bringing their historic continental adventure to a memorable conclusion.
