Tout Puissant Mazembe, commonly referred to as TP Mazembe is a Congolese Women's association football club competing in the Congolese Women's Championship. The club is based in the city of Lubumbashi and plays its matches at the Stade TP Mazembe in the Kamalondo neighborhood.

They won the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League to lift their first continental title.[1]

History

[edit]

The women's section of TP Mazembe was established on September 28, 2020. The team quickly achieved success by winning the Lubumbashi championship and the Haut-Katanga championship in 2021, just a few months after its creation.[2]

On March 2, 2022, the club achieved a record-breaking 43–0 victory against FC Œcuménique in the EUFLU (local championship of Lubumbashi). The Corbeaux then won the Haut-Katanga championship for the second consecutive time, securing qualification for the Coupe du Congo. On June 28, 2022, the club claimed its first national title by defeating CFS Bikira in the Coupe du Congo final.[3]

This triumph enabled TP Mazembe to represent the Democratic Republic of Congo in the UNIFFAC zone tournament, a qualifying event for the 2022 CAF Women's Champions League. The Congolese team dominated the Cameroonian team, AS Awa, in the final (2-1) and qualified for the final phase in Morocco.[4]

On 29 March 2023, the club appointed Lamia Boumehdi,[5] the former coach of the Morocco women's national under-20 football team, to lead the team.[6] In her inaugural season, Lamia guided the team to victory in the 2022-23 Congolese Women's Championship. This accomplishment marked their second consecutive qualification for the prestigious CAF Women's Champions League.[7] They won their first continental title at the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League defeating ASFAR from Morocco 1-0 in the final.[8]
