Regional Competition Intensifies
The COSAFA Qualifiers bring together leading women’s clubs from Southern Africa in the race for a spot in Africa’s premier club competition. Reaching the semi-final stage already represents significant progress for the teams involved, and both Thursday’s fixtures carry high stakes.

The Botswanan side, meanwhile, will view the occasion as an opportunity to test themselves against one of the region’s benchmark teams.
For ZESCO Ndola Girls, the meeting with Silver Strikers offers a clear pathway to the final if they can produce a disciplined and clinical performance.
