The Super Falcons of Nigeria will know their opponents for the group phase of the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations when the draw is held at the Technic Centre of the Mohamed VI Football Complex in Sale, outside Rabat, Morocco on Friday.
The 12 qualified teams will be drawn into three groups of four each, with the top two teams in each group, as well as the best two third-placed teams, advancing to the quarter-finals of the competition scheduled for Morocco.
Of the 12 previous tournaments held since Nigeria hosted the inaugural competition in 1998, the Super Falcons have been champions nine times, with Equatorial Guinea winning twice and South Africa triumphing in the last edition, also hosted by Morocco in July 2022.
All the four top-placed teams in the last edition also qualified for this one: South Africa, hosts Morocco, Zambia and Nigeria.
Also qualified are Ghana, Algeria, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tunisia, Senegal, Tanzania and Mali.
The 13th WAFCON will take place from July 5 to July 26, 2025.
