CAFWCL: Vihiga Queens eye semi berth

Vihiga Queens will be targeting at least a semifinal spot at the inaugural CAF Women’s Champions League in Egypt, team Captain Enez Mango has said.The former Kenya Women Premier League (KWPL) champions have been grouped in Pool B alongside Nigeria’s, Rivers Angels FC, South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns and Asfar FC of Morocco, a group that comes out as the group of death in the tournament but Mango says their target is to proceed from the group.Speaking during their last training in Nairobi before they leave for Egypt, Mango also urged Kenyans to rally behind the team, promising a better outing in the competition”First, we are targetting to get to the semifinal, then from there, we can think of the final and the title. I ask our fans and all Kenyans to accord us support. It is very important for us at this time, and we promise that we will not let you down,” Mango said.COVID-19 testing ahead of Cairo, Egypt trip for the #TotalEnergiesCAFWCL.#ItsTimeItsNow#VihigaQueens#LegacyMakers pic.twitter.com/m7Fy5XXyLE— Vihiga Queens FC (@Vihigaqueens) November 1, 2021 On the same, striker Gentrix Shikangwa is setting his eyes for the top scorer gong. She scored 8 goals at the CECAFA Region qualifiers, including a hattrick against Zanzibar’s New Generation in the group stages and a brace against Commercial Bank of Ethiopia in the final.Despite missing on the top scorer’s award which went to CBE’s Loza Abera, Shikangwa was however crowned the best player of the tournament, something that should propel her in Egypt.”We have prepared well and we will follow the instructions of the coach es to the letter. In Egypt, I want to finish as the top scorer. If we get the necessary support we shall give our best,” Shikangwa said.One team, One dream! 💪@Vihigaqueens going to the #TotalEnergiesCAFWCL in style! ⚽#ItsTimeItsNow pic.twitter.com/p3QgVoAAkJ— #TotalEnergiesCAFWCL (@CAFwomen) November 1, 2021 Vihiga booked their spot after emerging winners in the CECAFA region qualifiers where they beat Ethiopia’s CBE 2-1 at Kasarani Stadium in September.##NAJAVA_MECA_5949719##
