The Moroccan women's national team is on the verge of earning an Olympic qualification for the first time in their history. They made their debut in the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations in 2022, and they played in their first-ever FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023.
The North Africans are in control of the game as they get ready to welcome the Copper Queens to Rabat, where a single goal from the talented Zambian team might decide the outcome of the match. They won 2-1 in Ndola, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Morocco could be leading, but even though Zambia is far from home, it will take a lot to prevent them from qualifying for the Olympics twice.
Super Falcons against South Africa
Following a 1-0 setback to the Super Falcons in Abuja last week, South Africa is getting ready to welcome Nigeria to Pretoria for the return leg of a match that has developed into an all-time African women's football classic.
In an attempt to qualify for a fourth Olympics, the Super Falcons will rely on Randy Waldrum's strategies to orchestrate a successful performance away from home against the injured African champions who are vying for a second trip to the Olympics since 2016.
