The world of African women’s football is shining brightly with the recent nomination of Fideline Ngoy, captain of the Leopards ladies, in the category of best goalkeeper of the year by the Confederation of African Football. A well-deserved recognition for this talented player who has stood out throughout the season.
But the excellence does not stop there. Two other TP Mazembe players, Merveille Kanjinga and Flora Martha Lacho, have also been nominated in the category of best interclub player of the year. A consecration for these athletes who have been able to fly the flag for their team and their country.
Coach Lamia Boumedhi is not left out of this wave of success, being also nominated in the category of best coach of the year. Her hard work and passion for football have contributed to the influence of TP Mazembe on the continental scene.
Finally, TP Mazembe itself is honored, being nominated in the category of women’s club of the year. An ultimate recognition for this emblematic institution that has continued to distinguish itself through its commitment to women’s football.
This plethora of nominations comes at a particularly favorable time, as FCF Mazembe prepares to face AS FAR of Morocco in the final of the 4th edition of the CAF Women’s Champions League. A crucial moment that highlights the talent and determination of the players, coaches and the entire staff of TP Mazembe.
This success story is the result of hard work, an unwavering passion for football and an unwavering desire to push the limits of what is possible. These nominations are a well-deserved tribute to all those who work every day to make women’s football a true pillar of African sport.
At a time when women’s football is gaining momentum and visibility, these nominations are a reminder that excellence has no gender, that talent has no boundaries and that sport is a great vehicle for emancipation and unity.
May this recognition be the prelude to many other success stories, may these nominations inspire other young girls and women to get into football and believe in their dreams. Because, as the journey of TP Mazembe and its players proves, anything is possible when you have the passion, determination and talent to guide you on the path to success.
