Africa Prepares to Make Its Mark at Women's World Cup 2023

Africa's women soccer is ready for the World Cup 2023, with kick-off set for July 20. The tournament will be hosted by Australia and New Zealand through until August 20, 2023.

In Nigeria, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu has encouraged the Super Falcons to pool their efforts, talent and skill to dominate at the 9th FIFA Women's World Cup.

Meanwhile, Morroco's preparations intensified on July 1, 2023 after playing against Italy in an evenly balanced fixture that ended in a goalless draw. Both sides were well structured in the match, with both coaches giving their substitutes a run to assess their readiness for the world showpiece.

South Africa's Banyana Banyana, the current African champs, send a powerful message that women can achieve anything they set their minds to, Sports Minister Zizi Kodwa has said.

Banyana Banyana, together with Morocco, Nigeria, and Zambia, are the four African teams set to represent the continent at the World Cup.
