Zambia and DR Congo will battle it out on Saturday night in a decisive Group A clash at the 2024 TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The match, set for 19:00 GMT at El Bachir Stadium in Mohammedia, wraps up the group stage for both sides, with very different stakes.
The Copper Queens enter with momentum after a thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Senegal. That victory not only boosted their morale but marked the first time they’ve won a WAFCON game after conceding first. Unbeaten in their last six group stage games, three wins and three draws, Zambia also boasts an impressive record of never losing their final group match at the tournament.
However, they’ll miss star player Grace Chanda, who is suspended for this clash.
On the other side, DR Congo, despite two losses and six goals conceded, are determined to close the tournament on a high. They’re targeting their first victory, and a strong message that their rebuilding project is on the right track.
