Ampem Darkoa Ladies target UFOA B final after perfect group stage

Ampem Darkoa Ladies will face Dynamique FC on Wednesday for a place in the final of the women’s UFOA B tournament, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.

The second semi-final carries an additional reward, as the competition serves as a qualifying tournament for the CAF Women’s Champions League. The winners will advance to the final against Nigeria’s Edo Queens, who have already secured their place in the title decider.

Ampem Darkoa Ladies come into the match with a perfect record from the group stage. The Ghanaian side won all three of their matches, beating ASEC Mimosas 1-0 before recording a 4-0 victory over AS GNN.

Their final group game brought another important result, with Ampem Darkoa Ladies defeating Edo Queens 2-1. That run has put the Ghanaian club in a confident position ahead of the semi-final and given them the opportunity to reach the tournament final.

Dynamique FC’s route to the last four has been more difficult. They began the competition with a heavy 3-0 defeat by USFA but recovered in their next match by drawing 0-0 with ASKO de Kara.

The result against ASKO de Kara helped Dynamique FC respond to their opening setback and remain in contention for a place in the semi-finals. They now face the only team to have won all of its group matches, with a final place and a meeting with Edo Queens at stake.

Ampem Darkoa Ladies will be led by captain Victoria B., while Rose B. is listed as the goalkeeper. The Ghanaian club’s line-up is:

Rose B. (GK), Victoria B. (C), Patience A., Maltiti M., Rebecca A., Asana H., Patricia A., Beline N., Gloria A., Milot P. and Evelyn A.

The semi-final represents a significant opportunity for both sides. Ampem Darkoa Ladies are seeking to maintain their unbeaten run and complete a direct path from the group stage to the final. For Dynamique FC, the match offers the chance to build on their response to the defeat by USFA and move one step closer to the tournament’s decisive match.

The winner will meet Edo Queens in the final, while the losing side will see its hopes of reaching that stage end in the semi-final. With qualification for the CAF Women’s Champions League linked to the tournament, Wednesday’s match will determine which club remains in contention for both the UFOA B title and the opportunity that comes with winning the competition.
