Tunisia’s national women’s football team will compete in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with the tournament set to take place in Morocco from 5 to 26 July 2025.
The Tunisian squad has been placed in Group B alongside three-time champions Nigeria, North African neighbours Algeria, and Botswana.
The group promises intense competition as Tunisia looks to make its mark on the continental stage.
The team’s opening match is scheduled for Sunday, 6 July, against Nigeria at the Larbi Zaouali Stadium in Casablanca. Kick-off is set for 17:00 local time.
The Super Falcons, known for their dominance in African women’s football, are expected to pose a formidable challenge for the Tunisian side.
Four days later, on Thursday, 10 July, Tunisia will face Algeria at the Stade Père Jégo, also in Casablanca. That fixture is also scheduled to begin at 17:00.
With both teams hailing from North Africa, the encounter is anticipated to be a tightly contested derby, driven by regional pride and a deep-rooted footballing rivalry.
The final group stage match for Tunisia will be played on Sunday, 13 July, when they meet Botswana under the lights at Stade Père Jégo.
The match is set for a later 20:00 kick-off. Botswana, while considered underdogs, have made notable progress in recent years and could prove unpredictable opponents.
The group stage presents Tunisia with a challenging but navigable path to the knockout rounds. Nigeria’s experience and record in the tournament make them the favourites to top Group B, but Tunisia’s hopes will rest on capitalising on their fixtures against Algeria and Botswana to secure enough points to advance.
Elsewhere in the tournament, Group A features hosts Morocco, alongside Zambia, Senegal, and DR Congo.
Morocco, buoyed by home support, will be aiming for a strong run, while Zambia and Senegal will look to build on recent progress in women’s football across the continent. DR Congo rounds out the group and will seek to spring surprises.
Group C includes reigning champions South Africa, who will square off against Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania.
South Africa’s Banyana Banyana will enter the tournament as favourites to retain their title, but Ghana and Mali are expected to be strong contenders.
Tanzania, though less experienced on the continental stage, are capable of causing an upset.
The 2025 edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is expected to showcase the growing strength and competitiveness of women’s football across Africa.
With matches spread across key venues in Casablanca, the tournament will not only highlight elite talent but also celebrate the progress of women’s sport in the region.
Tunisia’s campaign will be closely watched as the team strives to progress beyond the group stage and assert itself among the continent’s footballing elite.
With preparations underway, attention will now turn to the squad’s final selections and pre-tournament form as July approaches.
