Morocco and Algeria are set to clash in the bronze medal match of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on August 15, 2026. The match, a North African derby, will take place at a venue yet to be confirmed, with kickoff scheduled for 20:00 local time.
Both teams had semifinal losses: Morocco fell to South Africa 2-0, while Algeria lost to Nigeria 1-0. This will be the third meeting between the two nations in the tournament's history, with Morocco winning the previous two encounters.
The winner will secure third place and a spot in the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, as the top three teams from the tournament qualify automatically. The final between South Africa and Nigeria is scheduled for August 16.
Morocco, the host nation, will look to bounce back from their semifinal disappointment and claim a historic bronze, while Algeria aims to secure their first-ever podium finish in the competition.
