On the other hand, Malawi are tasting the atmosphere of the tournament for the very first time. In their debut at the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the Scorchers find themselves thrown straight into the “group of death.” Despite the daunting challenge, the Malawians arrive with strong momentum, relying on their golden generation led by Faith Chinzemu to upset the odds and make a statement from the outset.
Zambia take on returning Egypt
Earlier in the day, at 17:00 GMT at the Rabat Olympic Stadium, Zambia kick off their campaign against Egypt. The Copper Queens are back with big ambitions, having clinched third place in 2022 and made the quarterfinals in 2025. They are determined to push further and reach new heights. On the other side, the Egyptians are only making their second appearance after debuting in 2016, hoping to use this new experience to break out of the group stage and challenge the group’s heavyweights.
