Kawempe Muslim Ladies have been handed a challenging group on their historic CAF Women’s Champions League debut after being drawn alongside defending champions AS FAR of Morocco.
The Ugandan champions were placed in Group B during Tuesday’s draw held in Cairo, Egypt, where they were also paired with Mali’s USFAS Bamako and the eventual winner of the WAFU B qualifiers.
Kawempe will head to the continental showpiece carrying Uganda’s flag after securing qualification through the CECAFA zonal tournament.
