The head coach of Tunisia’s women’s national team, Kamel Saada, is anticipating a challenging group stage campaign for his side at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
At the tournament scheduled to be staged in Morocco, Tunisia will face off with Nigeria, Algeria, and Botswana.
Speaking to CAFOnline in an interview, Coach Kamel Saada said competing with such top opponents will be tough.
“We’ve set up a two-month preparation plan. Right now, we’re at a training camp in Ain Draham, at altitude. We’re working well, with video sessions and tactics tailored to each opponent. We know our group is tough: Nigeria, Algeria, Botswana.
“Three strong teams we respect a lot. We’re preparing match by match with attention to physical, tactical, and mental aspects. All players are present. The mindset is good. We hope to be ready to play a strong tournament,” the Tunisia coach said.
Kamel Saada continued, “It’s a tough group. Everyone knows the quality of Nigeria. Algeria is improving fast. Botswana too. We’re not underestimating anyone. We’ll need to be disciplined, focused, and play our best football. The team that plays smart, cohesive football can pull off surprises. We’re preparing for that seriously.”
The 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will kick off on July 5 in Morocco.
