Road To The Final: Morocco
Morocco have enjoyed a dream run to the final, defying expectations with strong home support. They began their group campaign with a 2-2 draw against Zambia, secured a 4-2 victory over DR Congo, and edged Senegal 1-0 to top their group with 7 points.
In the knockout rounds, the Atlas Lionesses beat Mali 3-1 in the quarter-finals and advanced past Ghana via a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout in the semi-finals.
Road To Final: Nigeria
Nigeria, however, are the tournament’s most dominant side. The Super Falcons opened with a 3-0 win over Tunisia, edged Botswana 1-0, and held Algeria to a goalless draw. They crushed Zambia 5-0 in the quarter-finals and narrowly beat rivals South Africa 2-1 in the semis.
The final carries added weight as Morocco defeated Nigeria in the semi-finals of the 2022 WAFCON via penalties, a bitter memory the Super Falcons will be eager to erase.
