TP Mazembe were officially crowned queens of African club football on Saturday, 23 November after overcoming AS FAR 1-0 to secure a first-ever title in the CAF Women’s Champions League.
In addition to the crowning of the champions, CAF recognised and celebrated exceptional performances through the awarding of individual performances that were consistently outstanding throughout the competition.
Sanaa Mssoudy: Best Player of the Tournament
AS FAR playmaker, Sanaa Mssoudy was crowned the Best Player of the Tournament for her inspiring performances that led the former champions to the final.
Mssoudy not only found the back of the net twice but was key in getting her team forward as the orchestrator of attacks, while also capping it off with assists.
Her speed and composure with the ball at her feet have seen her undoubtedly voted the best player of the tournament.
Doha El Madani: Top Goalscorer (6)
Teenage sensation, Doha El Madani has been a revelation for AS FAR at the finals, contributing six goals to the club’s journey to the final.
At just 19, El Madani has established herself as one for the future for women’s football in Morocco and the continent.
With age on her side, El Madani’s exceptional ability to position herself and clinical finishing make her one of the best young women footballers in Africa.
Habiba Emad: Best Goalkeeper of the Tournament
FC Masar may have been eliminated before the final, but their goalkeeper Habiba Emad made a mark.
Her spectacular saves and consistency allowed helped her team remain competitive against formidable opponents from the opening day of the tournament.
Her calmness and ability to repel opponent’s attacks earned her the best goalkeeper of the tournament, taking over from Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies’ Andile Dlamini.
FC Masar: Fair Play Award
Beyond the competition, FC Masar embodied the values of respect and discipline and were duly recognised for this with the Fair Play Award.
The Egyptians displayed exceptional sportsmanship that is always encouraged across all CAF competitions.
