Nigeria will tackle two North African teams – Tunisia
and Algeria – as well as Botswana, in Group B of the 13th Women
Africa Cup of Nations finals taking place in Morocco next summer.
The Falcons will surely relish another meeting with
Algeria’s Green Ladies, whom they defeated 2-0 and 4-1 respectively in two
friendly matches in Nigeria last month.
Botswana eliminated Gabon in the qualifying series and
Tunisia were quarter
finalists at the last edition also hosted by Morocco.
At the draw conducted on Friday evening at the
Technical Centre of the Mohamed VI Football Complex in Sale, outside Rabat,
host nation Morocco, earlier slotted into Group A, learnt they will have to
cope with Zambia, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Cup holders South Africa are in Group C and will
square up to Ghana, Mali and Tanzania in the three-week, 12-nation final
tournament taking place 5th – 26th July 2025.
Hosts Morocco finished as runners-up in the last
edition in July 2022, with Zambia taking the bronze after a 1-0 defeat of
Nigeria in the third-place match.
