Morocco and Cameroon set for WAFCON semi-final clash

Morocco and Cameroon will compete in a Women's Africa Cup of Nations semi-final on Wednesday evening. The match is scheduled to take place at the Moulay El Hassan stadium.

Both sides enter this fixture at the top of their respective groups, having secured seven points from three matches. Morocco is currently aiming for their third WAFCON final following a 2-1 quarter-final victory against South Africa. The hosts have a history of progressing through semi-finals, winning their previous two encounters via penalties and extra time. Morocco has also secured qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Cameroon's recent form shows a mix of results, including wins against Benin and Nigeria, alongside losses to Nigeria. Their previous meeting with Morocco occurred in 2000, a match that Cameroon won 4-1 after Morocco had initially taken the lead. This upcoming fixture represents Cameroon's seventh game against a host nation. They have not won any of their last six matches against hosts, scoring in only one of those games during a 1-1 draw with Ghana in 2018.

Morocco arrives at the semi-final with a strong run of recent results. Their last five matches include wins against Kenya, Malawi, and Benin, as well as draws against New Zealand and Mali.

This match will determine which team advances to the final of the tournament.
