Banda

• Morocco and Zambia are making their Fifa Women’s World Cup debut in 2023.
• South Africa must recover their morale after a pay dispute and Nigeria once again leads the charge for the continent.
• Although the four African teams to qualify are not among the favourites to lift the World Cup trophy, there’s a strong chance one of them could make it to the knockouts.

Zambia

• Zambia are hoping to make a big impact as they appear at this elite tournament for the first time.
• At the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, the team showed glimpses of brilliance that many expect to see more of.
• As she is the first professional woman footballer from Zambia, a lot is expected from Banda.

Morocco

• This will, therefore, be a trailblazing effort that’s bound to attract worldwide attention, especially if Morocco were to win a few matches.
• Morocco, the 2022 Women’s African Cup of Nations runners-up, will take on two-time champions Germany, Colombia and Korea Republic.
• The striker is the forward spark Morocco needed, with seven goals in 15 games since her senior international debut in 2021.

South Africa

• South Africa have become a powerful force in African women’s football.

Nigeria

• Nigeria have been to the World Cup ever since its inaugural edition in 1991.

Outside chance

African women’s teams are not ranked highly as they enter the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Nigeria is the highest ranked at 40, followed by South Africa at 54, Morocco at 72 and Zambia at 77. However, there is strong hope that with the newly expanded tournament, an African team can rise to the occasion and cause enough upsets to make it to the knockout rounds of the tournament.
