Ghana and Mali Must-Win Matchup Preview, Kick Off Time and More
Rabat — Tonight will mark a must-watch and must-win match between Ghana and Mali as part of Group C of the ongoing Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) taking place in Morocco. The two will meet at Stade Municipal de Berkane at 8 p.m. Moroccan time. If you cannot watch the match in Morocco, several broadcasters are airing the game, depending on your location. If you are in Ghana, you can watch the match on Gabon Premiere, Canal + , or Super Sport. You can also watch it via beIN Sport or on Canal + if you are in Mali. Ghana is seeking redemption after a hard kickoff, where they lost their opener 0-2 against South Africa. 'Against Mali, they face a team that is efficient even when they do not have more ball possession. With the experience of the forward quartet, China-based Saratou Traore, who scored the lone goal against Tanzania on Monday,' the Confederation of African Football (CAF) said . Today's match will be the fifth time the two squads have met at the WAFCON. Ghana won three out of five of the matches in 2022, in 2006, and in 2016. The game, however, is expected to be fierce as Mali eyes an early quarters slot, and Ghana is determined to bounce back after a tough start and clinch a redemption during the competition. 'Winning against Ghana will also have a dimension to improve this record, but more importantly, booking a place in the quarterfinals,' CAF concluded. Tags: WAFCONWAFCON futsal
