Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face two North African teams—Tunisia and Algeria—as well as Botswana in Group B of the 13th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) finals, scheduled to hold in Morocco next summer.
The Falcons will look forward to a rematch with Algeria’s Green Ladies, whom they defeated 2-0 and 4-1 in friendly matches played in Nigeria last month.
Botswana secured their spot in the finals by eliminating Gabon during the qualifiers, while Tunisia reached the quarter-finals of the previous tournament, which was also hosted in Morocco.
The group stage draw, held on Friday evening at the Technical Centre of the Mohamed VI Football Complex in Sale, near Rabat, placed host nation Morocco in Group A alongside Zambia, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Defending champions South Africa, slotted into Group C, will compete against Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania in the 12-nation tournament, set to run from July 5 to July 26, 2025.
In the 2022 edition, Morocco finished as runners-up, while Zambia claimed the bronze medal after defeating Nigeria 1-0 in the third-place match.
