Morocco's women's national team secured a 2-1 victory over South Africa in the quarterfinals of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in Rabat. The win sends the Atlas Lionesses to the semifinals, continuing their strong run in the tournament.
Morocco took the lead in the 31st minute through Ouzraoui, and doubled their advantage just after the hour mark when Ait El Haj converted a penalty in the 52nd minute. South Africa pulled one back through Kgatlana in the 67th minute, but Morocco held on to secure the win.
The victory sets up a semifinal clash for Morocco, while South Africa's Banyana Banyana exit the competition. Earlier on Saturday, Algeria had also booked their place in the last four, adding to the excitement of the knockout stage.
