After losing 2-1 to Ghana’s Ampem Darkoa in their first group match on November 6, AS FAR bounced back with two straight wins to reach the last four.
The Moroccan team won their second match against their Equatoguinean counterparts Huracanes by 1-0 on November 9.

Unlucky finalists in 2022 in Morocco, this version still offers South Africa a chance to get their revenge.

However, AS FAR, who are looking to replicate the success of the previous edition, will need to rebuild if they are to stop this furious Mamelodi Sundowns side.

The team made its way to the semi-finals with one win against JKT Queens (4-1), one draw against Atletico Abidjan (1-1), and one loss against Sundowns (0-1).
