Uganda international and Crested Cranes defender Shadia Nankya has been named in the Best XI of the Group stage at the ongoing CAF Women’s Champions League in Morocco.
Nankya’s club, FC Masar from Egypt defied all odds to reach the knockout stages and will take on Morocco’s ASFAR FC in the semifinals tomorrow.
Following the conclusion of the ongoing CAF Women’s Champions League Morocco 2024 group stages, CAF’s Technical Study Group (TSG) has officially released the best-performing eleven (11) players.
The CAF TSG comprises various African football experts, including coaches, analysts, and technical advisors.
The Best 11 is headlined by four AS FAR players, two each from tournament debutants, Edo Queens as well as FC Masar, while Mamelodi Sundowns, University of the Western Cape (UWC) as well as TP Mazembe make up the final 11.
AS FAR shot-stopper Khadija ER-Rmichi, with just one concession in the group stages, rightfully earns the goalkeeper position.
AS FAR’s Nouhaila Benzina, alongside Shadia Nankya of FC Masar, make up the central pairing, while Edo Queens’ Cordeila Odoma and Karabo Dhlamini of Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies complete the back four as full-backs.
