Tout Puissant Mazembe, two years after its establishment, will be playing the preliminary round in the CAF Women’s Champions League. The UNIFFAC zone tournament will see the Ravens of Lubumbashi take on the Cameroonians of AS Awa. It will be held in Equatorial Guinea from September 10-16. Jeff Kapondo, president and CEO of Tout Puissant Mazembe Feminine spoke with Sport News Africa about his club’s great ambitions.<\/p>\n

\n

Jeff Kapondo and TP Mazembe will compete in the CAF Women’s Champions League. What a dream!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff Kapondo<\/strong>: This was the goal set by the creation of the women’s section at TP Mazembe. We are happy to have reached this first goal today. Now, we want to shine across the continent, having already been recognized nationally.<\/p>\n

There is a preliminary phase in the UNIFFAC zone that you can participate in before the final phase in Morocco. In which Malabo King, the defending African vice champion team, will be present. Do you feel scared by AS Awa from Cameroon, whose championship is superior to that of the DRC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameroon’s women’s football championship has been better organized than in DRC. Malabo King is a top-ranked African team, but Tout Puissant Mazembe is also very well organized. We don’t think the Cameroonian football team is a lightning bolt for us. We are optimistic and could surprise pleasantly. I think we can win the final against Malabo King.<\/p>\n

Mazembe is a well-known name on the African continent. Is this not a pressure to you in case of poor performance in the Champions League?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it’s a lot of pressure for leaders because we are required to do things so Tout Puissant Mazembe doesn’t get discounted. Mazembe is a name that instills dignity and honor in Africa. We must ensure that this virtue is protected. It’s possible. We’ll do our best to win this contest.<\/p>\n

Your team is performing well and you seem confident. But how was your preparation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our preparation began with the agreement’s championship. After our win at national level, we started another phase of preparation in Lubumbashi. We played several friendly matches against the Katumbi Football Academy boys (KFA), which is a strong team that just won a tournament here in Europe. We then played a friendly against Zesco United, a Zambian team that has 4 players who participated in the last African Cup of Nations. This team won 2-0. It was a great way to gauge our level. We are confident about our performance based on the results. CAF Champions League.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mazembe Dames, a young organization, has already won the national championship and played in the CAF Champions League. What is the secret to this rapid success?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The secret is not the organization; it is the preparation. These are the means. We have the grace to benefit from the guidance of President Mo\u00efse Katumbi. We have the infrastructure, the equipment and the support that others lack in the DRC. There are teams without a pitch or a ball, but it is not a problem for us. We also have a competent technical staff, which has contributed to our success.<\/p>\n

When we talk about Mazembe we see this big family led by Mo\u00efse Katumbi. Is he as attentive to the women’s team as he is to the men?<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Mo\u00efse Katumbi is an exceptional man who cares about supervising young people. I have never yet unsealed any form of discrimination. Our year of creation was the proof. We were eliminated in the semi-finals at the national championship, but the envelope he gave the team was better than the one received by the champion team. Mo\u00efse Katumbi is very attentive to everything we do. He never misses a chance to ask about the team.<\/p>\n
