WAFCON Golden Boot Race Heats Up Ahead of Semis
As the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) marches into its semi-final stage, the race for the Golden Boot is heating up — and it’s a thrilling contest between Morocco’s Ghizlane Chebbak and Senegal’s Nguenar Ndiaye, both tied at four goals each.
These attacking powerhouses have lit up the tournament with clinical finishes, sharp instincts, and unshakable composure. But with Senegal eliminated in the quarter-finals, the stage is now set for Chebbak to surge ahead — if she can find the net against Ghana in Tuesday's blockbuster semi-final.

💬 Opinion: Who Will Finish Top?
With Nigeria’s Chinwendu Ihezuo still in the mix and Barbra Banda and Kundananji of Zambia already out, the final goal tally could be settled in Tuesday’s semis — or the grand finale.
👉 If Chebbak adds to her tally and Morocco reaches the final, the boot could be hers. But don’t count out Ihezuo or even Ghana’s Alice Kusi, who might just rise to the occasion.
