Rabat – Morocco’s AS FAR have secured a place in the CAF Women’s Champions League final for the fourth time in their history after defeating Cameroon’s Lekié Football Filles 1-0 on Wednesday at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt.

Captain Ghizlane Chebbak scored the decisive goal in the 48th minute to send the defending champions into their third consecutive final, where they will have the opportunity to claim a third continental title.

AS FAR controlled much of the encounter against a Lekié side making its first appearance in the competition’s semi-finals.

After a goalless first half, Chebbak broke the deadlock shortly after the restart, giving her teammates the advantage they needed to secure qualification.

The victory extends AS FAR’s strong record in the continental competition, having previously reached the final in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

Their first title came in 2022, while the 2024 campaign ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat to DR Congo’s TP Mazembe.

AS FAR returned to the top of African women’s club football in 2025 with a 2-1 victory over Côte d’Ivoire’s ASEC Mimosas, securing their second title.

The Moroccan club entered this year’s competition as defending champions but endured a difficult start, losing 3-2 to Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies in their opening group-stage match.

They recovered with a convincing 6-0 victory over Mali’s USFAS Bamako before defeating Ghana’s Ampem Darkoa 2-0 to finish top of Group B with six points.

Chebbak also played a decisive role in that final group-stage victory, opening the scoring in the 59th minute before Hiba Youssoufi added a second in stoppage time.

Wednesday’s result ended Lekié Football Filles’ hopes of reaching the final on their tournament debut. The Cameroonian club had advanced from Group A after defeating Egyptian hosts FC Masar 2-1 in their final group-stage fixture.

AS FAR will now face the winners of the other semi-final between South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns and Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies.

The final is scheduled for November 15 in Ismailia, with AS FAR aiming to become the first club to win three CAF Women’s Champions League titles.
