JKT Queens can progress in CAF Champs League

DAR ES SALAAM: TANZANIA’S pride, JKT Queens, have shown courage and skill on the continental stage and now they stand on the brink of history.

After a determined goalless draw against Gaborone United and a hard-fought 1-1 stalemate against ASEC Mimosas in the on-going CAF Women’s Champions League in Egypt, the Tanzanian ladies face one final match that will determine if they will reach the semi-final stage of the tournament.

This is their moment to shine, to rise above the challenges, and to show Africa the strength, talent, and heart of Tanzanian football. With focus, teamwork, and belief in their abilities, JKT Queens can turn this do-or-die game against TP Mazembe into a triumph.

Currently, ASEC leads the group with 4 points, TP Mazembe sits second with 3, JKT Queens are third with 2, and Gaborone United trail with 1. With only one group match remaining against TP Mazembe, victory is mandatory to secure a semifinal berth.

The last two games have provided important lessons. In both encounters, JKT Queens conceded fouls inside the box, leading to penalties. Against Gaborone, the keeper heroically denied the spot kick, but against ASEC, the team conceded from the penalty spot.

These moments highlight the need for sharper discipline, focus, and composure under pressure. The team must learn quickly: Saturday’s match will demand flawless execution, both defensively and offensively.

Facing TP Mazembe, the defending champions, will be challenging. They won against Gaborone but suffered a loss to ASEC, leaving them with 3 points. They will play for pride, but JKT Queens have the advantage of momentum, unity, and the hunger to make history for Tanzania. Every tackle, pass, and shot will carry the weight of national expectation.
