Nigeria's women's football team, the Super Eagles, has a strong legacy as 11-time champions of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). In the latest competition, they scored an impressive 19 goals but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Morocco after a penalty shootout. Despite losing all three group matches at the 2024 Olympics, they performed competitively, narrowly losing to top teams like Spain and Brazil. The team is known for its experience and talent, including standout players like Brighton's goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie.

Tunisia made a significant impact in their second WAFCON appearance in 2022 by reaching the quarter-finals. However, they have faced challenges since then, such as losing to Kenya in the first round of WAFCON 2026 qualifiers. Algeria holds the record for competing in WAFCON five or more times without advancing past the group stage. Nevertheless, they are currently in strong form, having won 11 of their last 15 matches, and hope to break through to the knockout stages in the 2025 tournament.

Botswana is one of the lowest-ranked teams in the competition, yet they should not be underestimated. They made it to the quarter-finals during their WAFCON debut in 2022. Although it will be challenging for them to repeat this success, Botswana has shown that they can be tough opponents, suggesting that another surprise performance could be possible in Morocco.
