ASEC Mimosas face must-win test against Edo Queens

ASEC Mimosas enter their CAF Women’s Champions League qualification meeting with Edo Queens under pressure to deliver a result. The Ivorian side cannot afford another setback if it is to keep its campaign on course, making the contest a decisive test of its response.

ASEC’s domestic record provides a strong foundation. They sit first in the 2025 Ivory Coast Ligue 1 standings with 62 points from 30 matches, built from 19 wins, five draws and six defeats. Their goal record is 50 scored and 21 conceded, showing the level that has placed them at the top of the table.

Their recent sequence, however, has been uneven. ASEC lost 1-0 to Olympique Sport d’Abobo, drew 1-1 away to Zoman, then recorded victories over San-Pédro and ISCA by 2-0 and 1-0 respectively. They then suffered another 1-0 defeat at Bouaké. That run leaves them with two losses, one draw and two wins in their last five matches, increasing the importance of the Edo Queens fixture.

The next fixture listed for ASEC is an away CAF Champions League match against Kara on September 5, 2026. Before that appointment, the club’s immediate task is to turn its domestic standing into a result against Edo Queens.
