South Africa and Côte d'Ivoire are into the last eight of WAFCON! 👊#FIFAWWC— FIFA Women's World Cup (@FIFAWWC) August 4, 2026
Quarter-finals so far : Morocco v South Africa and Ivory Coast v Algeria Winners go to the World Cup in Brazil.
Nigeria should best Egypt today. All a matter of if Zambia can take down Malawi. Cameroon will face the runner up of that group. I'd expect Ghana to finish 2nd. Morocco vs. South Africa Cameroon vs. group C runner up Ivory Coast vs. Algeria Group C winner vs. Ghana
So, with Zambia up 2-0 on Malawi and Egypt down 2-0 to Nigeria, it begins to get interesting on advancing scenarios. Zambia 6p +7 Malawi 6p +1 Nigeria 6p +2 Egypt 0p -10 Since we have more than two teams tied, the following criteria are utilized is my understanding. Points in matches (still tied) Goal differential among tied teams (Malawi -1, Nigeria 0, Zambia +1) Zambia advances if scores hold. Malawi would be eliminated based on goal difference. Goals scored among tied teams (Malawi 3, Nigeria 3, Zambia 2) If Malawi scores, the above would be moot and Malawi/Nigeria would advance. I think that's how it would be applied? It could get truly crazy if we see a spate of goals in the second half.
Malawi and Nigeria progress to the WAFCON Quarter-finals! 👏#FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/abqBmGH3jN— FIFA Women's World Cup (@FIFAWWC) August 5, 2026
Malawi win the group. Nigeria finish second. Tied on points. Goals scored in Head-to-head matches were used as the tiebreaker; Malawi 4, Nigeria 3 and Zambia 2.
Maybe this trend has been going on for a while and I've just now noticed it, but it seems as though African women's international soccer is being increasingly dominated by the countries that are the traditional powers of African men's soccer.
He has recently arrived to gather support and do deals with his friends from the CAF. He has no real interest in the tournament.
Ivory Coast had the advantage until the red card on Ouedraogo. Hopefully they get through the intercontinental playoffs to qualify.
Those playoff-places will be much sought after: how many of them are at stake? 3? For how many competitors? Can we assume one will most probably go to the UEFA team? What about the others? What's the chance that a CAF team can make it? About Algeria, I don't see Ghoutia Karchouni in their line-up anymore: injured or they decided to do without her?
