The Africa Women’s Cup Of Nations,WAFCON, reaches pivotal stage with high-stakes double header scheduled Wednesday, 9th July.

As the 2024 WAFCON group stage intensifies, Group A’s decisive matches will see Senegal confront Zambia and tournament hosts Morocco battle DR Congo.

These outcomes could determine quarterfinal progression for all sides.

Senegal faces Zambia at the backdrop of a convincing 4-0 opening win over DR Congo. That performance highlighted both their attacking strength and defensive organization, leaving them top of the group with 3 points.

Zambia opened with a thrilling 2-2 draw against Morocco. Despite twice coming from behind, the Copper Queens displayed resilience, spearheaded by star forward Barbra Banda.

This fixture reignites their WAFCON 2022 quarterfinal rivalry, where Zambia advanced on penalties after a 1-1 stalemate.

For Senegal, victory would solidify group leadership and avenge 2022’s elimination. Zambia, meanwhile, must win to avoid pressure in their final group game amid fierce competition.

In the other fixture, DR Congo seeks redemption from their heavy opening loss against formidable hosts Morocco.

The 2022 runners-up, now under coach Jorge Vilda, showed flashes of their finalist quality despite drawing Zambia 2-2.

Backed by home support, Morocco aims for its first win to boost quarterfinal hopes.

DR Congo, last in the group with 0 points and -4 goal difference, requires an immediate turnaround. An upset win against Morocco could dramatically reshape the group ahead of Matchday three.

Current Group A Standings:

  1. Senegal (3 pts, +4 GD)
  2. Morocco (1 pt, 0 GD)
  3. Zambia (1 pt, 0 GD)
  4. DR Congo (0 pts, -4 GD)

With two Matchdays remaining, every result carries immense weight for knockout qualification. Wednesday’s double-header promises high drama and exceptional football as Africa’s elite women’s teams compete for supremacy.
