Four African nations have confirmed their participation in the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil following quarter-final victories at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Algeria made history by reaching a World Cup for the first time with a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast, while Morocco secured their second appearance after defeating South Africa by the same scoreline. Cameroon and Malawi completed the quartet, with Cameroon edging Nigeria 1-0 through a long-range free-kick, and Malawi stunning Ghana with a dramatic 2-1 comeback.

The qualifying pathway remains open for additional African teams, as the four quarter-final losers—Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and South Africa—can still earn World Cup spots through intercontinental play-offs scheduled for late 2026. The 32-team tournament will run from June 24 to July 25, 2027, with 18 nations now confirmed across Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and Oceania.
