“We are very happy that on our first attempt in the tournament, we have made it through to the knockout stage. We now need to focus on the next stage,” Kawempe Muslim Ladies coach Ayub Khalifa Kiyingi noted.
Kawempe Muslim Ladies defeated reigning champions AS FAR Rabat 3-2 in their opening match, but suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ghana’s Ampem Darkoa in their second match.
