The 2024 CAF Women's Champions League UNAF Qualifiers was the 4th edition of the CAF Women's Champions League UNAF Qualifiers tournament organised by the UNAF for the women's clubs of association nations. The tournament was held in Algeria from 22 to 30 August 2024, to determine the UNAF representative in the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League final tournament.[1]

AS FAR won the tournament and qualified for the main competition for the fourth consecutive time in their history. However, following the announcement that Morocco would host the finals, the runners-up of the UNAF qualifiers, FC Masar (who were known as Tutankhamun during the qualifiers), were granted a place in the finals, as AS FAR also won the Moroccan Women's Championship and automatically qualified as hosts.[2]

Participating teams

The following four teams contested in the qualifying tournament. The draw took place on Wednesday, 24 July 2024 in Cairo, Egypt.[3] [4]
