Tanzania’s JKT Queens are the winners of the CAF Women’s Champions league CECAFA qualifiers 2025.
Winfrida Gerald’s goal after five minutes was enough to win it for JKT Queens in the final played against Rayon Sports WFC Tuesday, at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, Kenya.
In the second half, the Rwanda Women’s Champions Rayon Sports WFC tried to get back in the game, but failed to break down the JKT Queens defense.
The Tanzanians were limited to counter attacks and fast transitions, but they were defensively solid and better organized.
JKT Queens head coach Azishi Kondo, while addressing the media, said he was confident his team would win the title.
“We came here to lift the title and the mission is now accomplished. I thank the players and staff for the hard work,” said Kondo.
It was JKT Queens’ second regional title after they lifted the trophy in 2023. They are now the only team to win the regional trophy twice, while Vihiga Queens, Simba Queens and Commercial Bank of Ethiopia have lifted it once.
Elsewhere, a first-half goal from Margret Kunihira was enough to hand Kenya Police Bullets third place over Kampala Queens from Uganda.
