Our group is the toughest – Yusif Basigi on CAF WCL Qualifiers

Yusif Basigi

Police Ladies head coach Yusif Basigi has described their CAF Women’s Champions League qualification group as the most challenging of the tournament.

The Ghanaian champions were drawn in Group B alongside Nigerian giants Bayelsa Queens, Togo’s Association Sportive de la Kozah, and Benin’s Sam Nelly.

The Polas must navigate this competitive lineup to secure a spot in the main Champions League later this year.

With less than a week to the start of the sub-regional qualifiers, Police Ladies are relying on Basigi—one of Ghana’s most accomplished women’s football coaches—to chart a path to continental success.

“Bayelsa are a big team, but I think it’s a good draw. Our group is the toughest, so we have to raise our game,” Basigi told Graphic Sports.

“We won’t leave anything to chance — the target is qualification,” he added.

The CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU Zone B qualifiers are scheduled to be hosted in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, from August 23 to September 4.
