Malawi Eyes WAFCON Quarter-Finals Against Zambia
Malawi's Women's National Football Team is poised to reach the quarter-finals of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) following a 3-1 victory over Egypt. Despite a red card issued to Rose Alufandika, Malawi secured the win with goals from Rose Kadzere, Faith Chinzimu, and Temwa Chawinga.
This victory marked their second win in Group C, having previously defeated Nigeria 3-2. To advance to the quarter-finals, Malawi requires just a draw in their final group match against Zambia.
If they progress, they will be one win away from qualifying for the World Cup. Temwa Chawinga expressed the team's determination to compete seriously for a World Cup ticket.
Conversely, Zambia's Women's National Football Team is coming off a 1-0 defeat to Nigeria and needs a win against Malawi to have a chance of qualifying. Coach Nora Hauptle's team previously showcased their attacking prowess with a 6-0 victory over Egypt but struggled against Nigeria.
