Ghana and South Africa have secured Africa’s two places in the inter-confederation play-offs for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup after both countries recorded crucial victories in Casablanca on Thursday.
The Black Queens booked their place first after coming from behind to defeat Côte d’Ivoire 2-1.
Inès Konan put the Elephants ahead from the penalty spot in the fourth minute, giving Côte d’Ivoire an early advantage.
Ghana responded strongly after the break, with Princess Marfo restoring parity before Josephine Bonsu completed the comeback with 18 minutes remaining.
The victory sent the Black Queens through to the 10-team inter-confederation play-offs, where they will battle for one of the three remaining World Cup places.
