They were in Group B. On 22 August, they lost to South Africa 0–9. On 23 August, the team lost to Malawi 0–3. The national team's poor performance was contributed to by the fact that they only held a training camp for the competition a week before it started. In 2006, the national team coach was Lethola Masimong. Masimong wanted a national league created in the country in order to help develop the game and improve the national team's performance. His comments came after the team was eliminated from the 2006 Confederation of Southern African Football Associations tournament.

Recent years have seen a surge in Mehalalitoe's activity. The team consistently competes in the COSAFA Women's Championship, a tournament featuring national teams from Southern Africa. While they haven't yet secured a top position, their performance is steadily improving.

In the most recent edition of the COSAFA Women's Championship held in October 2023, Mehalalitoe faced strong competition in the group stages. They fell short against Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana, but their performance showcased promising developments.

Looking beyond COSAFA tournaments, Mehalalitoe recently participated in a friendly match against Botswana on April 6, 2024. Though they faced a narrow defeat, the game served as valuable preparation for upcoming qualifiers.

The Lesotho Football Association is actively involved in developing women's football within the country. Their dedication, coupled with the team's growing experience on the international stage, suggests a bright future for Mehalalitoe.
