Morocco and Algeria have both secured their places in the semifinals of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which is currently underway. The two North African teams have also qualified for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, marking a historic achievement for women's football in the region.
According to the latest match results, Morocco topped their group with a perfect record, while Algeria finished second in their group. Both teams have shown strong performances throughout the tournament, with key players stepping up in crucial moments.
The semifinal draw has placed Morocco and Algeria in different halves of the bracket, meaning they could potentially meet in the final. This would be a historic first for the two neighboring countries, who have a fierce rivalry in men's football but have never faced each other in a Women's AFCON final.
The tournament, hosted by Morocco, has seen record attendance and increased media coverage, reflecting the growing popularity of women's football in Africa. The semifinals are scheduled to take place later this week, with the final set for August 22, 2026.
