CAF’s Technical Study Group (TSG) officially released the best-performing eleven (11) players on Monday.
The CAF TSG comprises various African football experts, including coaches, analysts, and technical advisors.
The Best 11 is headlined by four AS FAR (Morocco) players, two each from tournament debutants Edo Queens (Nigeria) and FC Masar (Egypt).
Other players are from Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), University of the Western Cape (UWC), and TP Mazembe (DR Congo).
AS FAR shot-stopper Khadija ER-Rmichi, with just one concession in the group stages, rightfully earns the goalkeeper position.
AS FAR’s Nouhaila Benzina, alongside Shadia Nankya of FC Masar, form the central pairing, while Edo Queens’ Cordeila Odoma and Karabo Dhlamini of Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies complete the back four as full-backs.
UWC’s highly experienced Amogelang Motau anchors the midfield, just behind the attacking pair of AS FAR’s Sanaa Mssoudy and Sandrine Niyonkuru of FC Masar.
The attacking trio is led by Edo Queens’ lethal Emem Essien, who is assisted by AS FAR teenage star Doha El Madani, as well as Lacho Marta of TP Mazembe.
The tournament enters the knockout stages on Tuesday, with Edo Queens locking horns with TP Mazembe, while former champions AS FAR take on FC Masar in the semi-finals.
Edo Queens came from a goal down to beat defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in their last group game to book a place in the semi-final, but they were defeated by TP Mazembe of Congo in a nail-biting semi-final.
