Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan league champions AS Kigali Women fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Tanzanian side 2-1 to JKT Queens during their opening game of the CECAFA CAF Women’s Champions League held at Omondi Stadium in Uganda on Sunday.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali Women took an early lead after just three minutes through a fabulous effort from Diane Nyirandagijimana but they allowed the Tanzanians to crawl back and win the game.<\/p>\n

JKT Queens equalized in the 46th minute through Stumai Abdallah Athumani before Donisia Minja scored the match winner in the 70th minute.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali Women will have to bounce back when they face Kenyan side Vihiga Queens FC in their second match on Tuesday, August 16 or a different result would see them say goodbye to the competition.<\/p>\n

The winner of the CECAFA zone will qualify for the 2023 \/24 CAF Women’s Champions League finals in Cote D’Ivoire.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali are in Group B alongside Tanzanian champions JKT Queens, Vihiga Queens (Kenya) and New Generation (Zanzibar).<\/p>\n
