A tough tie awaits Vihiga Queens as they clash with South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in their opening Group B match of the CAF Women’s Champions League 2021 tournament at Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, Egypt, today at 4pm.

Vihiga Queens, the three-time Kenyan Women Premier League champions, who beat CBE of Ethiopia 2-1 in the Cecafa qualifiers in Nairobi to secure a ticket to the continental showpiece, will no doubt have a mountain to climb in Egypt.
