Captain Genevieve Owona of FC Ebolowa has declared herself and her mates are confident and ready to leave a strong impression when the 2025 UNIFFAC Women’s CAF Champions League begins next week in Malabo.
Owona spoke of the confidence in camp amongst others when the kick442.com team made a stop by preparation camp and captain Geneviève Owona expressed the energy within after their recent 2-2 draw against the U17 boys of Agora FC.
“It’s been a week of preparation, it wasn’t easy,” she said. “But we are satisfied with the result. It was a good final test for us.”
Owona’s words echoed the team’s palpable determination. “The team’s spirit is in great shape,” she declared.
“We are going to Malabo to make a statement, and we are ready.” She highlighted the deep-rooted cohesion within the squad, which has remained intact despite some players being away with the national team.
“The fact that some of our team mates are in the national team camp doesn’t impact the group’s unity,” Owona added.
“We’ve trained together and played in the Guinness Super League together. We know each other very well.”
Per Owona, the UNIFFAC tournament represents a new level of challenge, one that the team is eager to embrace.
“The UNIFFAC tournament is a step above our championship,” she affirmed. “We are preparing with a calm and focused mindset, following all the coaches’ instructions.”
With their mindset and team spirit firmly in place, Geneviève Owona and her colleagues are ready to face the challenge and compete on the African stage.
