Green Buffaloes Women Football Club will represent Zambia at the inaugural Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) Women’s Champions League (CWCL) which is a build-up to the maiden CAF Women’s Champions League to be hosted by Morocco later this year.

According to a letter by COSAFA Secretary General Sue Destombes accessed by the ZamFoot Crew, The Zambian Giants Buffaloes will come up against seven other teams in an eight-team regional tournament.

The other teams are Prisons XI(Botswana), Manzini Wanderers (Swaziland), Lesotho Defense Force (Lesotho), Costa Do Sol(Mozambique), Tyra Magic (Namibia), Mamelodi Sundowns(South Africa), and Black Rhino Queens FC(Zimbabwe).

COSAFA is yet to finalize the hosts for this historical CWCL tournament which might be played either in July or August and they will communicate logistics and other regulations later on.

The Confederations of African Football (CAF) will have its inaugural Women’s Champions League this year which will feature 8 teams from the 6 (Six) Zones with Nigeria given a wild card to field 2 teams in the WAFU B Zone because they are the holders of the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations.

Eventually, the qualified eight teams from the six zones including the host team will be drawn into two groups of four teams in accordance with the regulations.
