Ampem Darkoa's Nancy Amoh named in CAF Women's Champions League best XI
Ghanaian forward Nancy Amoh has been named in the CAF Women's Champions League Egypt 2026 Group Stage Best XI following her impressive performances for Ampem Darkoa Ladies. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) unveiled the 11-player selection, recognising the standout performers from the opening stage of the competition in Ismailia, Egypt.
Amoh's inclusion is a notable achievement for the Ghanaian forward, who earned recognition despite Ampem Darkoa's failure to progress to the semi-finals. The Best XI features players from six clubs, including Uganda's Kawempe Muslim Ladies, Cameroon's Lekié Football Filles, Morocco's AS FAR, South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, Egypt's FC Masar and Ghana's Ampem Darkoa.
Arranged in a 4-3-3 formation, the team combines experienced African internationals with emerging talents who made their mark during the group stage. Kawempe Muslim Ladies striker Agnes Nabukenya headlines the selection after finishing as the tournament's leading scorer with four goals, helping the Ugandan debutants secure a historic place in the semi-finals.
She features alongside AS FAR captain Ghizlane Chebbak, the 2025 CAF Women's Player of the Year, and fellow Kawempe midfielder Shakira Nyinagahirwa. The attacking department is completed by AS FAR's Fatima Tagnaout, who was named Best Player of the 2022 edition, and Mamelodi Sundowns forward Refilwe Tholakele, winner of the Golden Boot in 2023.
Cameroonian debutants Lekié Football Filles also have two representatives in the team, with defenders Prisca Mache Talla and Orline Djutchie Segning rewarded for their contributions to the club's historic semi-final qualification. Mamelodi Sundowns defender Lebohang Ramalepe and FC Masar's Shahd Ghonim complete the backline.
FC Masar goalkeeper Habiba Emad Sabry Mohamed El Taher takes the goalkeeping position, adding another individual recognition to her record after winning the Best Goalkeeper award at the 2024 edition. Amoh's selection provides a notable highlight for Ghanaian football, as the Ampem Darkoa forward joins some of the continent's most recognised players in CAF's team of the group stage.
