The CAF Women's Champions League | COSAFA Qualifier Botswana 2026 will be played in Gaborone from August 20-29. Here are profiles of two of the teams: debutantes Silver Strikers from Malawi and last year's runners-up ZESCO United Girls. The Silver Strikers Ladies name is relatively new, but the team has deeper roots in Malawian women's football. They were formerly known as DD Sunshine before becoming part of the Silver Strikers set-up in 2023. Under coach Andrew Chikhosi, Silver Strikers won 16 of their 18 matches on the way to the inaugural NBM Women's Premiership crown.
