Liberian champions Determine Girls FC have arrived in The Gambia ahead of the WAFU-A qualifiers for the CAF Women’s Champions League, beginning their campaign with ambitions of securing a place in the next stage of Africa’s premier women’s club competition.
The Monrovia-based side made the journey representing Liberia after another successful domestic season, carrying the hopes of Liberian football fans as they prepare to face some of West Africa’s strongest women’s clubs.
Team officials said the squad arrived in good spirits and has settled well, with preparations already underway as the players adjust to the environment and turn their attention to the opening fixtures.
Determine Girls enter the regional competition as Liberia’s champions and will be expected to compete strongly against teams from across the WAFU Zone A region.
The qualifiers provide the club with an opportunity not only to defend Liberia’s reputation on the regional stage but also to advance toward the continent’s elite women’s club tournament.
The Liberian champions have reportedly maintained a focused approach to their preparations, with training sessions centered on fitness, tactical organization, ball possession and match readiness.
For Determine Girls, the assignment goes beyond simply participating. The club is seeking to translate its domestic success into regional progress and demonstrate that Liberian women’s football can compete at a higher level.
The team’s presence in The Gambia also comes at an important moment for women’s football in Liberia, where increased participation in international competitions is providing clubs and players with valuable exposure and competitive experience.
With the Liberian flag firmly behind them, Determine Girls are expected to approach the qualifiers with determination and discipline as they pursue a historic regional campaign.
The club’s immediate objective is clear: navigate the WAFU-A qualifying competition successfully and move one step closer to earning a place in the CAF Women’s Champions League.
As the tournament approaches, attention now turns to the pitch, where Determine Girls will have the opportunity to measure their strength against the best women’s clubs in the sub-region and make their mark on West African football.
