Maloba Kings represented UNIFFAC in that inaugural year. TP Mazembe went on to represent the region twice &#8211; in 2022 ahead of AS AWA and in 2024 ahead of Lekie Football Filles. In 2023, Hurricanes made a surprise appearance as the zone&#8217;s representative.

Malabo Kings, the 2021 UNIFFAC representatives, valiantly navigated a tough Group A and finished as runners-up. Although they lost to the eventual winners, Sundowns Ladies, in the quarterfinals (5-4 on post-match penalties), their performance was a testament to the region&#8217;s potential.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, TP Mazembe missed out on the knockout stage after finishing third in Group B with three points, falling behind Sundowns Ladies and Bayelsa Queens.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A Wake-Up Call before Redemption<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hurricanes, the 2023 zonal UNIFFAC representatives, faced a tough Group B, which included AS Mande, Ampem Darkoa, and AS FAR. Unfortunately, they finished at the bottom of the group, highlighting the need for improvement.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2024: A Historic Redemption<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TP Mazembe made history by winning the CAF Women&#8217;s Champions League title, defeating AS FAR 1-0 in the final held at the Ben M&#8217;Hamed El Abdi Stadium in El Jadida, Morocco. This victory marked a redemption year for the UNIFFAC region and showcased the determination of its women&#8217;s football teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A Story of Resilience and Growth<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The journey of UNIFFAC representatives in the CAF Women&#8217;s Champions League is a story of resilience and growth. From Malabo Kings&#8217; strong debut to TP Mazembe&#8217;s historic win, the region&#8217;s teams have consistently demonstrated their potential and ability to match the continents best. As the competition continues to evolve, the UNIFFAC region is poised to produce more talented teams and exciting performances.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
