History
[edit]The Eagles of Médina Club was founded in 1991 under the name of Chattes de Dakar. It has been affiliated with the Senegalese Football Federation since 1999, the club has won the Senegal Championship twice (in 2003 and 2007) and the Senegalese Women's Cup three times (in 2005, 2006, and 2009).[1]
During the 2020–2021 season, the Eagles led the championship before losing to the Amazons of Grand-Yoff on the final day, allowing Dakar SC to claim the title on goal difference. In 2023, as the Eagles' best players were transferred to rival clubs, the team struggled to remain in the first division. In 2024, led by the attacking trio of Ndeye Awa Casset, Haby Baldé, and Mbene Kane, the team won the championship again, seven years after their last title. This victory qualified them for the first time for the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League qualifying tournament. They also achieved a double by winning the national cup and the championship in 2024.[2] During the qualifying tournament, they secured a 2-0 victory in their first game against Red Scorpion WFC. In their final match, they triumphed over Determine Girls 2–1, finishing the tournament with two wins, one draw, and one loss against the champions of Mali, AS Mandé. These results earned them seven points, allowing them to top the group and secure their first-ever qualification for the 2024 CAF Women's Champions League. Remarkably, they also became the first team from Senegal to achieve this milestone.[3]
