ASEC Mimosas suffer poor start in UFOA-B qualifier

ASEC Mimosas have made a poor start to the women’s UFOA-B qualifying tournament in Ouagadougou. The opening setback puts the Ivorian club under pressure to improve during the rest of its qualifying campaign, with the available information not specifying the opponent or score from the match.

The result comes after ASEC’s strong domestic season in Côte d’Ivoire. The club finished first in the 2025 Ligue 1 standings, collecting 62 points from 30 matches. Their record included 19 victories, five draws and six defeats. ASEC scored 50 goals and conceded 21 across the campaign.

Their latest sequence of results has been less consistent. ASEC began the listed run with a 1-0 defeat against Olympique Sport d’Abobo, followed by a 1-1 draw away to Zoman. They then recorded successive wins, beating San-Pédro 2-0 on the road and ISCA 1-0 at home, before losing 1-0 away to Bouaké. The five-match sequence therefore contains two wins, one draw and two defeats.

ASEC’s next listed fixture is against Kara in the CAF Champions League on September 5, 2026. For now, their attention remains on correcting the poor opening to the UFOA-B tournament in Ouagadougou. Their domestic title-winning record shows the level they reached in Côte d’Ivoire, but the early continental setback has left them with ground to recover.
