    TLCB EXCLUSIVE: “Women Empowerment Cricket League” Set for March 2026 Launch

    DILI, TIMOR-LESTE – On the heels of the groundbreaking “Rising Timor” announcement, the Timor-Leste Cricket Board (TLCB) is doubling down on its commitment to gender equality in sports. We are proud to announce the inaugural “Women Empowerment Cricket League” (WECL), scheduled to take center stage in March 2026.

    This tournament is specifically timed to coincide with the global celebrations of International Women’s Day, highlighting the TLCB’s mission to make cricket the leading inclusive sport in the nation.

    A League with a Vision

    While the men’s league focuses on high-speed T20 action, the WECL is designed as a transformative platform for women across the districts. Since over 50% of grassroots players in Timor-Leste are currently girls and young women, this league represents the natural next step in the TLCB’s development roadmap.

    The league will serve as the primary selection ground for the Timor-Leste National Women’s Team, as they prepare for their own international debut following the country’s 2025 ICC Associate Member status.

    “The WECL is more than just a series of matches; it is a movement. We are providing our women with the equipment, the coaching, and the stage they deserve to prove that the future of Timorese cricket is female.” — TLCB Director of Women’s Cricket.

    Tournament Highlights

    • District Representation: Teams will likely represent major hubs including Dili, Ermera, Baucau, and Liquiçá, fostering local pride.
    • Skill Clinics: Every match day will feature “Learn to Play” sessions for young girls in the audience, led by senior players.
    • Professional Standards: For the first time, female players will have access to high-quality 2G Flicx Pitches and standardized equipment to ensure a professional playing environment.

    Empowerment Through Sport

    Beyond the boundaries, the WECL aims to develop leadership skills. The TLCB has confirmed that the league will also include training for female umpires and match referees, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem for women in the sport.
