Algeria and Morocco have secured their places in the Women's World Cup after both teams won their quarter-final matches at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Algeria defeated Ivory Coast 2-1, while Morocco emerged victorious 2-0 against South Africa. This win qualifies both teams for the global tournament, which will take place from June 24 to July 25 in Brazil.
The four semi-finalists from the Cup of Nations, including Algeria and Morocco, will automatically qualify for the World Cup. However, Ivory Coast and South Africa still have the opportunity to secure their spot through FIFA's inter-confederation play-offs, where three additional tickets are available. The play-off matches will be held at the Women's Cup of Nations on Thursday.
Morocco will face the winner of the Cameroon-Nigeria tie on Sunday, while Algeria await the result of the Ghana-Malawi match. South Africa will play against the loser of the Cameroon-Nigeria game, and Ivory Coast will take on either Ghana or Malawi.
