According to a statement from COSAFA monitored by the ZamFoot Crew, the winners of the COSAFA Women’s Champions League Zonal qualifier or the runner up in the instance that Mamelodi Sundowns win it will join Masandawana in Morocco later this year. 

Should Buffaloes reach the final tomorrow and Sundowns beat Double Action then the Zambian Champions will seal their place in Morocco before even playing the final.
