The 2025 CECAFA Women's Championship (Swahili: Mashindano ya CECAFA kwa Wanawake 2025) was the sixth edition of the CECAFA Women's Championship and the fifth to be held since the tournament's Reintroduction in 2016. It was an international women's football tournament contested by the women's national association football teams of East Africa, organized by the Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA). Tanzania hosted the tournament from 13 to 21 June 2025.[1][2]
Uganda were the defending champions, having won their first title on home soil in the last edition.[3] However, they were unable to defend their title, winning only one of their four matches, which stood as their worst performance in the competition to date.[4][5] In contrast, hosts and most successful side Tanzania secured their third title, defeating Kenya 1–0 on the final matchday.[6] Twiga Stars's captain Opah Clement won the Golden Boot for the second consecutive time, netting five goals during the competition.
