International football competition

Qualification for the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League began on 1 August and ended on 30 August 2024.

Qualification was made up of 6 sub-confederation qualifying tournaments which will be starting on the 1st of August 2024. Qualification will finish in September with the participating teams reduced to the final 8, consisting of one winning team each from the 6 CAF sub-confederations, the tournament's defending champions, and the host nation's league-winning team. These 8 teams would proceed to the main tournament phases which had not been chosen yet.[1]

Participating teams

All participating teams qualified for the qualification phase by winning their respective national league titles and had their club licensing applications accepted by CAF.[2] A total of 36 (out of 54) countries have a participant club in this edition.[3]
