Ghanaian champions, Ampem Darkoa Ladies FC, who were initially nominated last month for the CAF Women’s Club of the Year award, did not make it to the final shortlist.
The shortlist, released on Thursday, December 7, excluded Ampem Darkoa and JKT Queens, leaving Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa, AS FAR, and SC Casablanca of Morocco as the contenders for the prestigious award.
Despite this setback, young defender Comfort Yeboah from Ampem Darkoa is still in contention for the CAF Young Player of the Year (Women) award.

Additionally, Jennifer Owusuaa, another player from Ampem Darkoa, has her impressive goal against SC Casablanca shortlisted for the Goal of the Year award.
