CAF Women’s Champions League: Semi-Finals set for a thrilling showdown

The stage is set for the semi0finals of the CAF Women’s Champions League.

Ismaila’s Canal de Suez stadium will lay host to the two highly anticipated semi-final clashes between AS FAR and TP Mazembe as well as Asec Mimosas and FC Masar all taking place on Tuesday, 18 November.

AS FAR vs TP Mazembe – 15:00 (GMT+2)

A blockbuster rematch of last year’s final opens double header showdown.

AS FAR, runners-up in 2024 and now entering their fifth consecutive semi-final — an unmatched record — arrive with one objective of reclaiming the continental crown that slipped from their hands last season.

Standing in their way are defending champions TP Mazembe, a team built on discipline and a growing reputation for delivering on the biggest African stages.

With both sides boasting elite quality and tactical maturity, the encounter promises fireworks.

ASEC Mimosas vs FC Masar – 18:00 (GMT+2)
The second semi-final sees ASEC Mimosas, unbeaten leaders of Group B, take on FC Masar, runners-up in Group A. For the Ivorian giants, this marks their first-ever appearance at this stage — a golden opportunity to write a new chapter in the club’s history.

FC Masar, meanwhile, arrive with growing continental pedigree. After securing third place in the previous edition, the Egyptian side are now in their second straight semi-final and continue to establish themselves as a rising force in women’s football.

The Egyptians know they must remain focused from the first whistle to the last — any lapse could be costly against an ASEC team driven by confidence.

Tuesday’s clashes promise intensity and unpredictability. Between the proven consistency of AS FAR and TP Mazembe, and the refreshing enthusiasm of ASEC and FC Masar, the semi-finals offer a perfect blend of experience and emerging talent.
