Algeria, Senegal and the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations
Sunday
Algeria opened their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 2-0 win over Senegal in Morocco. Marine Dafeur scored before half-time and Melissa Bety sealed the Group A victory with a late second goal.
The result sends Algeria temporarily top of Group A before Morocco face Kenya later in the same round. This WAFCON carries extra stakes because the four semi-finalists qualify directly for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
