Four African nations have officially locked in their spots for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil. Morocco, Algeria, Cameroon, and Malawi have earned these automatic entries by reaching the semi-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which serves as the regional qualifying stage.
In the quarter-final matches, Algeria defeated Ivory Coast 2-1, while Morocco edged past South Africa with an identical 2-1 score. Cameroon managed a slim 1-0 win against Nigeria, and Malawi achieved a surprising 2-1 victory over Ghana. These results finalize the semi-final pairings, featuring Morocco versus Cameroon and Algeria against Malawi this Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the four defeated quarter-finalists—Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and South Africa—will compete in a secondary round for a chance to reach the intercontinental play-offs.
