“This has been a good platform for the players to learn and improve when playing with the best in the continent,” added Okere.
Vihiga Queens FC qualified for the inaugural tournament after lifting the zonal CECAFA Women’s Champions League trophy.
The Kenyan side kick started the campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies (South Africa) in a Group B match, before they revived their hopes with a 2-0 win against ASFAR FC (Morocco). The team however suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat yo Nigeria’s Rivers Angels last Friday.
