The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) semifinals take place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at the Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Morocco. Host nation Morocco face Cameroon at 18:00 local time, while Algeria meet Malawi in the second semifinal.
Morocco, who have never won the continental title, are aiming to reach the final on home soil. The Atlas Lionesses have been in strong form throughout the tournament, but Cameroon, a two-time runner-up, are expected to provide a tough challenge. Morocco will rely on the support of the home crowd at the 12,000-capacity stadium.
In the other semifinal, Algeria take on Malawi, who have exceeded expectations by reaching the last four for the first time in their history. Algeria, who won the title in 2004, are seeking their first final appearance since 2014. The winners of both matches will advance to the final, scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026, also in Rabat.
The semifinals are part of the 14th edition of the WAFCON, which is being held in Morocco for the second consecutive time. The tournament serves as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, with the top four teams securing berths.
