In 2023, the club won the Sierra Leone Women's Premier League, with only one defeat in twenty-two matches played.[1][2] Their coach, Duramani Janneh, was named Best of the Season and Hannah Juana was received the award for Best Goalkeeper.[3]

Their league victory qualified them for their first continental campaign in the 2023 CAF Women's Champions League.[4] [5] They competed in West Africa's Zone-A qualifiers, where they competed against Determine Girls FC (Liberia), AS Mande (Mali), and Dakar Sacre Coeur (Senegal).[6] Mogbwemo Queens tied eventual group-winner AS Mande,[7] but failed to make it through to the next stage of the competition.[8]
