When, How to Watch Ghana vs Algeria in the WAFCON 2025 Quarterfinals
Ghana returns to the knockout stages of WAFCON for the first time since 2016, hoping to revive the glory of past tournaments when they reached the final three times (1998, 2002, 2006). After a shaky start, losing 0-2 to South Africa and drawing 1-1 with Mali, the Black Queens secured their place in the quarterfinals with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Tanzania in their final group match.
Algeria, meanwhile, have made history by reaching the knockout stage for the first time ever after failing to advance in their last five appearances. The team has impressed with a solid defense, finishing unbeaten in Group B thanks to a 1-0 win over Botswana and goalless draws against Tunisia and nine-time champions Nigeria.
Their goalkeeper, Chloe N'Gazi, who was named Best Goalkeeper of the Group Stage, has yet to concede a goal in the tournament and is expected to be a key figure against Ghana's attack.
Both teams are looking to make a statement. Ghana have scored in every game but haven't kept a clean sheet, while Algeria have been defensively perfect but managed only one goal in three matches.
Fans can follow the match live on CAF TV (YouTube), which streams matches in many regions around the world. In Ghana, the match will also air on GTV Sports+, while in Algeria, national television channels will carry the broadcast.
With a spot in the semifinals at stake, the match promises an exciting clash between Ghana's attacking firepower and Algeria's disciplined defense.
Prediction: Algeria 2 – 1 Ghana, with the Desert Foxes advancing to the semifinals. Tags: AlgeriaAlgeria WAFCONGhanawafcon 2025

What's Been Said After Morocco Beat Ghana?
Morocco secured its spot in the WAFCON final after beating Ghana 4-2 on penalties at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. The semi-final ended 1-1 in regular time, with Sakina Ouzraoui Diki scoring Morocco's equaliser and later being named Player of the Match. 'This trophy is for the team,' she told CAFOnline. 'They worked hard and gave everything. I am proud of my family. They push me forward a lot. This trophy is for them.' Morocco's coach Jorge Vilda congratulated Diki for the award, saying: 'Congratulations to Ouzraoui for the award. The Ghanaian team were physical, but we played collectively and eventually won.' Looking ahead to the final, Vilda said: 'I am thinking about the Nigerian team that we will be playing in the final.' This win against Ghana triggered wild celebrations in the Olympic Stadium. One fan wrote on social media: 'This is a motivational message to Walid Regragui and his squad! Bravo to the Lionesses!' Another added: 'You brought joy to our mothers. They prayed for you from the heart. Reaching the final alone is a huge achievement. Good luck, inshallah.' A third one said: 'Make us proud; we want this trophy to stay in Morocco. I believe in you!' Ghana, meanwhile, will play for third place in Casablanca. 'Final missed, but the mission's not over,' the team wrote on X. 'Bronze in sight. We move!' Fans of the Black Queens reacted with mixed feelings. One fan commented: 'Best of luck next time. You did well. Keep your spirits high, girls! There's always a next time to shine!' Another criticised the coaching decisions and sloppy final product: 'The coach is useless… The substitutes he made show how poor our choice of coach was. If we had a more clinical forward, we would have been deadly against any opponent… But this was a good tournament for the ladies. Better luck next time!' Tags: GhanaMoroccoWAFCON 2024

Moroccan women's football team reaches AFCON 2024 final after thrilling win over Ghana
The Moroccan women's football team has secured their spot in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2024, marking their second consecutive appearance after 2022. They clinched their place by overcoming Ghana in a tense penalty shootout (4-2 on penalties, 1-1 after extra time) on Tuesday night at Rabat's Olympic Stadium. Despite trailing in the first half, the Moroccan team demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination, equalizing an hour into the match and ultimately earning their ticket to the final. There, they will face Nigeria, the nine-time African champions. Morocco has remained unbeaten in this AFCON, with a draw against Zambia (2-2), an impressive offensive display against DR Congo (4-2), a narrow victory over Senegal (1-0), and a controlled win against Mali in the quarterfinals (3-1). Although they encountered challenges against Ghana, they have now set the stage for a highly anticipated final against Nigeria, whom they eliminated in the semifinals of the previous edition. From the outset, the Moroccan team created several scoring opportunities, notably through Hanane Msoudi in the 5th minute and a shot from Hanane Aït Lhaj, which was deflected by the Ghanaian goalkeeper. The Black Queens were not passive, however, and attempted to challenge Khadija Rmichi. A shot from Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah forced Rmichi to make a save in the 10th minute, followed by a dangerous attempt from Stella Nyamekye in the 14th minute. As the Moroccans sought to assert their dominance, Nyamekye managed to open the scoring for Ghana in the 26th minute. After the break, national coach Jorge Vilda made several changes to invigorate the midfield, notably bringing on Najat Badri, who nearly scored in the 51st minute. The numerous opportunities for the Moroccans finally paid off in the 55th minute with an equalizer from Sakina Azraoui. During extra time, the changes made by Jorge Vilda, including the introduction of Fatima Tagnaout and Imane Saoud, were not enough to alter the course of the match, despite clear Moroccan dominance. The penalty shootout provided another chance for the Atlas Lionesses to display their skill and composure, as the Moroccan players converted all their shots (4 out of 4), compared to 2 missed by the Ghanaians. The final between Morocco and Nigeria, who earlier in the day eliminated South Africa (2-1), is set for next Saturday (9:00 PM) at the Rabat Olympic Stadium. The third-place match between South Africa and Ghana will be played the day before.
