South Africa will aim to seal a place in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations when they take on Tanzania tonight at Honour Stadium in Oujda
Kick-off is at 8 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on beIN Sports, CANAL+, New WorldTV, SuperSport, Azam Media, SABC, Ziggo, BAND, SportTV, and Arena Sport.
The defending champions made a statement in their opening match, beating Ghana 2–0 thanks to goals from Linda Motlhalo and Jermaine Seoposenwe. That win extended South Africa’s unbeaten run in 2024 to eight straight victories, with six clean sheets and 17 goals scored along the way. Another three points in this game would guarantee safe passage to the last eight.
For Tanzania, the margin for error is now razor thin. A narrow 1–0 defeat to Mali in their opener has left them needing at least a point to keep hopes alive of sneaking through as one of the best third-placed sides. But facing Banyana Banyana – a side brimming with experience and pedigree – is no easy task.
Twiga Stars showed promise in qualifying, but have looked short of ideas against top-tier opposition. They were humbled 3–0 by Morocco in a pre-tournament friendly and struggled to threaten Mali.
Score Prediction:
South Africa are simply a level above. Desiree Ellis’ team are organised, clinical, and battle-hardened. Barring a miracle, this should be a routine win.
