Women Champion clubs from the nine member associations are expected to compete in the mini qualification tournament with winners of the tournament qualifying for the finals in Egypt.

Egypt was confirmed to stage the inaugural edition of the women’s club competition in November, following CAF’s executive meeting in Kigali, Rwanda.

Determine Girls will represent Liberia after emerging as champions of the Orange Women’s Division League on April 17, 2021, following a 4-1 win over Blanco Football Club at the Tusa Field in Gardnersville.
