Women’s football

On 28 and 29 May 2026, the Federation brought together women’s football stakeholders in Ouagadougou, supported by FIFA experts, to build the first national development strategy for the women’s game. The Women’s Football Committee is chaired by Aïssa Ouoba.

  • Women’s League 1: USFA 2025-2026 champions, also winners of the Women’s Faso Cup
