'It'll boost their financial status' - Omagbemi excited over creation of Caf Women's Champions League

Former Nigeria international Florence Omagbemi has lauded the decision of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to launch the Women's Champions League for domestic clubs in Africa.

Following a virtual conference on Tuesday, the Caf Executive Committee announced plans to launch the continental women's club competition, which will start in 2021.

This development is coming seven months after the African football ruling body approved a four-year women's football strategic blueprint launched at a workshop in Egypt last November.
