WAFCON 2025: Nigeria, Ghana Set for Fierce Semi-Final Clashes – Who Will Rise?
The stage is now set for the semi-final showdowns at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), following a dramatic and tension-filled round of quarter-final fixtures on Saturday.
🔥 Semi-Final Fixtures Confirmed:
Nigeria 🇳🇬 vs South Africa 🇿🇦
Ghana 🇬🇭 vs Morocco 🇲🇦 (Hosts)
Both Ghana and South Africa had to dig deep and endure the nerve-wracking pressure of penalty shootouts to book their tickets to the semis.
Ghana’s Cynthia Konlan was the heroine of the day, producing brilliant saves against Algeria’s Marine Dafeur and Inès Belloumou after 120 minutes of goalless football. Ghana edged it out in style, and now they face the host nation, Morocco, in what promises to be a crowd-fueled spectacle in Rabat.
Meanwhile, South Africa’s Bayana Bayana also walked a tightrope, surviving a similar penalty test against Senegal to set up a mouthwatering semi-final clash against long-time rivals and 11-time champions Nigeria’s Super Falcons.
💬 Opinion: Clash of Queens — The Rivalries Get Real
Get ready for grudge matches with history, passion, and pride on the line. Nigeria vs South Africa is not just a football match — it's a clash of titans in African women's football. With Asisat Oshoala leading the Super Falcons and Thembi Kgatlana flying high for Bayana Bayana, expect sparks to fly.
On the other hand, Ghana vs Morocco brings emotion, talent, and the pressure of being a host nation. Morocco will rely on their home support, but Ghana’s never-say-die spirit could shock the Casablanca crowd.
