Hosts Morocco kick off their TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign against Zambia at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat on 5 July, with kick-off scheduled for 21:00 local time (20:00 GMT).

Historically, tournament hosts have enjoyed strong starts. Across the previous 12 editions of WAFCON, hosts have won their opening match on 11 occasions. The only exception was South Africa in 2004, who suffered a 3-0 defeat to Ghana.

Nine of those 12 opening matches saw the hosts keep a clean sheet. The only times they conceded were in South Africa’s 2004 loss and Nigeria’s 4-2 win over Equatorial Guinea in 2006. South Africa’s 2-1 victory over Tanzania in 2010 is the only host opening win where they conceded.

The biggest win by a host in their opening match was Nigeria’s emphatic 8-0 thrashing of Morocco in 1998.

Since South Africa’s loss in 2004, each of the last eight hosts has won their opening match. Furthermore, since 2010, the last six hosts have started their campaigns with a clean sheet.

Hosts have gone on to reach the final on eight occasions. Nigeria won on home soil in 1998, 2002, and 2006, while Equatorial Guinea triumphed in 2008 and 2012. More recently, Cameroon (2016) and Morocco (2022) reached the final but lost, as did South Africa in 2000.

Head-to-Head: Morocco vs Zambia

This will be the first meeting between Morocco and Zambia at WAFCON.

Both sides reached the semi-finals in the previous edition in 2022, also hosted by Morocco. The hosts finished runners-up, while Zambia claimed bronze after beating Nigeria in the third-place match.

It will be Morocco’s third encounter with a Southern African nation at the tournament. In 2022, they beat Botswana 2-1 in the quarterfinals before losing 2-1 to South Africa in the final.

For Zambia, this will be their second time facing a host nation at WAFCON; in 2014, they lost 2-0 to Namibia in the group stage. It is also their second clash against a North African side–at the 2022 finals, they beat Tunisia 1-0 in the group stage.

Morocco will again play all group matches in Rabat. In 2022, they played all six of their games at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, near the Rabat Olympic Stadium. Zambia played only one match in Rabat in 2022–a 4-1 win over Togo at Stade Moulay Hassan–with their remaining matches held in Casablanca.

Interestingly, the two current head coaches, Jorge Vilda (Morocco) and Nora Häuptle (Zambia), previously met at the 2018 UEFA Women’s U-19 Championship. Vilda’s Spain beat Häuptle’s Switzerland 2-0 in Zug. Spain went on to win the tournament.
