The 2024 WAFF Women's Clubs Championship (Arabic: بطولة غرب آسيا الثالثة لأندية السيدات) will be the 3rd edition of WAFF Women's Clubs Championship, a biennial international women's club football tournament organized by West Asian Football Federation. The championship will be hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.[1][2]
Safa, the defending champions, were unable to defend their title following the team's dissolution in 2022.[3]
The West Asian Football Association decided to postpone the Women's Clubs Championship to a later date, which was initially scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia from November 3 to 13. The postponement was due to the withdrawal of many clubs caused by the security situation in the Middle East. The tournament was prepared to host eight clubs, as announced on February 29.[4]
Teams
Teams qualified through their domestic leagues based on competitive merit. Initially, 8 teams were set to participate in the tournament.[5][6] However, on October 11, 2024, WAFF announced that only five teams would participate.[7]
