Algeria's Historic Women's World Cup Berth

Algeria has qualified for its first Women's World Cup, joined by Morocco after both secured victories in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. The semi-finalists advance to the global tournament, with potential for others via FIFA’s play-offs. Historic achievements mark a new era in African women's football.

Algeria made history by securing its first-ever qualification for the Women's World Cup, after a crucial quarter-final victory in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.

On Saturday, Algeria defeated a 10-player Ivory Coast team 2-1 in Casablanca, while Morocco also booked their spot in next year's finals in Brazil by edging South Africa 2-1 in Rabat.

Both teams now await their semi-final opponents, as the road to the global tournament continues, with Ivory Coast and South Africa still chasing qualification via inter-confederation play-offs.
