Ghanaian champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies have been eliminated from the CAF Women’s Champions League after missing out on qualification from their group despite finishing level on six points with AS FAR and Kawempe Muslim Women.
The Techiman-based side were involved in a three-way battle for progression, with all three teams finishing the group stage on six points, forcing the competition’s head-to-head regulations to determine which sides advanced to the next stage.
Following the application of the tie-breaking criteria, Ampem Darkoa finished with a head-to-head goal difference of -1, which proved insufficient to secure qualification, bringing their continental campaign to an unfortunate end.
The elimination represents a disappointing outcome for the Ghanaian champions, who had hoped to make a strong impression on the continental stage after earning their place in the competition.
AS FAR and Kawempe Muslim Women emerged ahead of Ampem Darkoa in the three-team standings to secure progression, while the Ghanaian representatives were left to reflect on a campaign in which six points ultimately proved insufficient to reach the knockout stage.
The result ends Ampem Darkoa Ladies’ hopes of continental glory and leaves Ghana without its representatives in the next phase of the CAF Women’s Champions League.
