Mares duo's Champions League agony :: Mmegi Online

The Mares’ duo of Refilwe ‘Seven’ Tholakele and Kesegofetse ‘Odinga’ Mochawe will not be part of the 2022 CAF Women's Champions League finals after their new Equatorial Guinean side, Malabo Kings missed out.

The two joined Malabo in August after impressing at the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) finals. Malabo retained the domestic league title with Tholakele and Mochawe making their debuts in the CAF Champions League regional qualifiers.

The team participated in the Central African Football Federations' Union (UNIFFAC) Champions League qualifiers held in Equatorial Guinea last week. Tholakele and Mochawe had to wait until the semi-finals of the competition as Malabo Kings were seeded by virtue of being the regional defending champions. However, their dream to play in the Champions League was shattered as their side was knocked out in the semi-finals.
