The Women’s African Nations Cup has progressed to the semifinals, with the final four teams known after the conclusion of the last group matches played on Saturday and Sunday. Equatorial Guinea and South Africa emerged as the standout teams in Pool A, with Equatorial Guinea securing three victories, scoring 12 goals and conceding only one. South Africa, after an initial defeat, rallied with two consecutive victories to claim the second qualifying ticket for the semifinals.
In Pool B, Nigeria, as expected, won all three matches to advance to the semifinals. The other three teams, Ethiopia, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast, fiercely competed for the second ticket, with the Indomitable Lionesses ultimately emerging victorious.
The semifinals are set with Equatorial Guinea facing Cameroon and Nigeria taking on South Africa. While a final between Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria seems likely, both Banyana Banyana and the Indomitable Lionesses are formidable teams that could potentially upset the favorites. The final is scheduled for November 11, and the competition promises intense and closely contested matches.
