CAF reveals Group Stage Best XI of CAF Women's Champions League, Egypt 2026

The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) has announced the Best XI of the Group Stage of the CAF Women's Champions League Egypt 2026, recognising the outstanding individual performances during the opening phase of the competition in Ismailia.

The selection features 11 players from six clubs, with Uganda's Kawempe Muslim Ladies, Cameroon's Lekié Football Filles, Morocco's AS FAR, South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, Egypt's FC Masar and Ghana's Ampem Darkoa all represented.

Arranged in a 4-3-3 formation, the team brings together established African stars and emerging talents who have impressed so far.

Kawempe's Agnes Nabukenya, who finished the Group Stage as the competition's leading scorer with four goals, is among the standout selections after helping the Ugandan debutants reach the semi-finals.

She is joined in midfield by AS FAR captain Ghizlane Chebbak, winner of the CAF Women's Player of the Year 2025 award, and Kawempe's Shakira Nyinagahirwa.

The attacking trio includes AS FAR's Fatima Tagnaout, named Best Player of the 2022 edition, and Mamelodi Sundowns forward Refilwe Tholakele, who won the Golden Boot in 2023.

Ghana's Nancy Amoh of Ampem Darkoa completes the forward line, earning recognition despite her club's elimination from the competition.

Cameroonian debutants Lekié Football Filles have two defenders in the selection, Prisca Mache Talla and Orline Djutchie Segning, following their historic qualification for the semi-finals.

Mamelodi Sundowns' Lebohang Ramalepe and FC Masar's Shahd Ghonim complete the defence.

In goal, FC Masar's Habiba Emad Sabry Mohamed El Taher, who was named Best Goalkeeper of the 2024 edition, earns another recognition.

The selection highlights the quality of performances across the tournament, with players from both established champions and debutant clubs featuring among the Group Stage's outstanding performers.
