Cameroonian debutants Lekié Football Filles have received another major recognition at the CAF Women’s Champions League Egypt 2026, with defenders Prisca Mache Talla and Orline Djutchie Segning named in the competition’s Group Stage Best XI unveiled by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Wednesday, November 11.
The inclusion of the two Cameroonians highlights Lekié’s impressive defensive contributions during their historic first appearance in the continental competition, as the UNIFFAC representatives secured qualification for the semi-finals in Ismailia.

Lekié are among six clubs represented in the 4-3-3 selection, which features players from Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, South Africa and Uganda. Their two representatives join an elite selection that rewards individual performances during the opening phase of the competition.

The Cameroonian duo were particularly important in Lekié’s Group A campaign. After opening with a goalless draw against Morocco’s FUS Rabat, they suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to eventual group leaders Mamelodi Sundowns before recovering to beat Egyptian champions FC Masar 2-1 on November 7.

That victory gave Lekié four points from three matches, with three goals scored and three conceded, enough to secure a place in the last four.

Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies also have two representatives in the selection, with Agnes Nabukenya and Shakira Nyinagahirwa rewarded for their contributions to the club’s impressive campaign.

Nabukenya is arguably the standout individual selection after finishing the group stage as the competition’s leading scorer with four goals. Her goals helped Kawempe, making their tournament debut, secure a historic semi-final qualification.
The Ugandan forward’s four-goal return puts her at the summit of the scoring charts at the conclusion of the group stage, underlining her importance to the East African side.

In midfield, she is joined by AS FAR captain Ghizlane Chebbak, the 2025 CAF Women’s Player of the Year, and teammate Shakira Nyinagahirwa.
Morocco’s representation is completed by Fatima Tagnaout, who features in the attacking department. Tagnaout previously won the Best Player award at the 2022 edition, bringing considerable continental experience to the selection.

South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns also have two players represented. Defender Lebohang Ramalepe and forward Refilwe Tholakele earned their places following Sundowns’ strong Group A campaign.

Sundowns finished the group stage unbeaten, collecting seven points from three matches, scoring five goals and conceding just once. Tholakele, who previously won the competition’s Golden Boot in 2023, adds another individual recognition to her continental record.

Egyptian hosts FC Masar have goalkeeper Habiba Emad Sabry Mohamed El Taher and defender Shahd Ghonim in the selection. El Taher, who was named Best Goalkeeper at the 2024 edition, receives another important individual recognition.
Ghanaian forward Nancy Amoh of Ampem Darkoa completes the attacking trio. Her inclusion is particularly noteworthy because she earned recognition despite her club’s failure to qualify for the semi-finals.
