Chawinga sisters inspire Malawi into historic TotalEnergies CAF WAFCON final | CAF Online
Malawi’s remarkable debut at the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026 reached a historic milestone on Wednesday as the Scorchers defeated Algeria 3-1 to book their place in the final.
The Chawinga sisters, Tabitha and Temwa, once again proved decisive, combining for all three of Malawi’s goals as the Scorchers secured their first-ever WAFCON final appearance.
Malawi’s task was made easier early in the first half when Algeria’s Morgane Belkhiter was shown a red card, leaving the North Africans with 10 players.
The Scorchers took advantage in the 33rd minute when captain Tabitha Chawinga produced a moment of brilliance, directing an acrobatic effort onto the crossbar and into the net to give Malawi the lead.
