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.
