Vihiga Queens head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu is out to guide his team to the CAF Women’s Champions League that will be staged in the Ivory Coast later this year.Queens saw off competition from Gaspo to lift the 2022–23 women’s league title. Back-to-back draws for Gaspo in the last two games allowed Queens to open a four point gap heading into the final match of the season between the two sides that will also see the winners crowned.##NAJAVA_MECA_7277163##After clinching the title, Nyamunyamu now wants to grace the continental scene once again. Nyamu’s sides featured in the maiden CAF Women’s Champions League in 2021. In 2022, due to the FIFA ban, Kenya did not have a representative on the continental scene.”Our sights are firmly set on CECAFA. We are determined to strengthen our squad with top-quality players to enhance our competitiveness on both the international stage and in the league next season,” Nyamu said in an interview with FKF Media.It has arguably been the most competitive season in the women’s premier league, as three matches before the end of the season, the top two teams were separated by goal difference before Queens’ experience and grit prevailed.Captain Merceline Wayodi believes that character played a part in their triumph “As a team, we’ve experienced victories and defeats. We never panicked and stayed focused on our own journey.”Vihiga Queens will now set their sights on the 2023 CEACAFA Zonal CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers to be held in Uganda. This prestigious opportunity allows them to compete for a chance to secure their ticket to the second edition of the CAF Women’s Champions League.The trophy ceremony draws near, as they are set to be officially crowned champions on May 27th, 2023.Final round matchesBunyore Starlets vs. Nakuru City Queens FC (Mumboha Grounds, noon)Kisumu AllStarlets FC vs. Trans Nzoia Falcons FC (Moi Stadium, Kisumu, noon)Kangemi Ladies FC vs. Wadadia FC (Dagoretti High School, noon)Thika Queens FC vs Zetech Sparks FC (Police Sacco Stadium, 11 am)Exclusive: Mwatate United part ways with the entire coaching staff
