WAFCON 2026: Here’s how Black Queens can still qualify for 2027 Women’s World Cup despite Malawi defeat
Ghana’s Black Queens still have a route to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup despite their disappointing quarter-final defeat to Malawi at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Despite being eliminated from the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with a 1-0 loss to Cameroon, Nigeria's Super Falcons still have a chance to qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The loss means the Super Falcons will not be one of the four automatic ticket holders from Africa. Instead, they must compete in the African and FIFA inter-confederation play-offs to secure their spot. Nigeria will face South Africa in their next match, with one spot available for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 Play-Off Tournament.
