Lady Doves of Uganda will open their campaign against FAD of Djibouti in the inaugural CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA Qualifiers scheduled for Saturday, August 28, 2021, at the Nyayo National Stadium.
The Believers will take on their Djibouti counterparts in the early kick of the day from 1pm before a second encounter pitting PVP FC of Burundi and Tanzanian opponents Simba Queens in a group A encounter starting at 4pm at the same venue.
