South Africa – Nigeria: Advantage Super Falcons

 

A fixture that has grown into becoming an all-time African women’s football classic is on the cards yet again as South Africa prepares to welcome Nigeria to Pretoria for the return leg following a 1-0 loss to the Super Falcons in Abuja last week, CAFonline reports.

 

The Super Falcons are eyeing a fourth Olympic qualification. They will be banking on Randy Waldrum’s tactics to mastermind a good result away from home against the wounded African champions, who are gunning for their second Olympics appearance since 2016.

 

Morocco – Zambia: The Atlas Lionesses are in the driving seat

Morocco’s women’s national team made their TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations debut in 2022, participated in their first-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023, and are now on the verge of qualifying for the Olympics for the first time in their history.

 

A 2-1 win in Ndola has put the North Africans in the driving seat as they prepare to welcome the Copper Queens to Rabat, where a single goal from the star-studded Zambia squad could turn the match on its head.

 

Morocco may be in the driving seat, but it will take a lot to keep the Zambians from making their consecutive Olympics qualification despite being away from home.
