With the outcome, JKT Queens are just one match away from fulfilling their mission of representing the country in the CAF Women’s Champions League a feat that is within their reach.

The country Women’s Premier League title holders have had a remarkable feat in the ongoing qualifiers no wonder they topped their group B with 9 points after winning all their three matches.

However, it was a bumpy ride for Zanzibar envoys New Generations who made exit win-less and point-less in all their three engagements.

Last year, the CECAFA zone was represented by Simba Queens who finished in fourth place in the Champions League finals held in Morocco.
