WAFCON 2026: Malawi coach Lovemore Fazili insists Scorchers never underestimated Ghana
Malawi coach Lovemore Fazili has rejected any suggestion that the Scorchers underestimated Ghana before their historic 2-1 quarter-final victory at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.Malawi continued their remarkable debut campaign on Sunday by coming from behind to defeat the Black Queens in Rabat and book their place in the semi-finals.The result also secured a historic qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, making Malawi one of the tournament’s biggest success stories.The Scorchers had already stunned defending champions Nigeria and defeated Egypt during the group stage before facing Ghana in the last eight.Despite their impressive run, Fazili insisted his team approached Ghana with the necessary respect, particularly given the two sides’ previous meetings in friendly internationals.The Malawian coach said his players understood the quality of their opponents and remained focused on competing on merit."And yesterday, I think I said, let the best team win. So, we are lucky today, but it doesn't mean that we didn't underrate Ghana."Ghana took the lead before Malawi fought back, with Rose Kadzere eventually scoring the winner to complete another remarkable comeback.The victory puts Malawi into the semi-finals, where they will continue their...

WAFCON 2026: World Cup ticket at stake as Black Queens face Malawi in Rabat
Ghana's Black Queens face Malawi on Sunday in a crucial 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal in Rabat, with a place in the semifinals and qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup at stake.The Black Queens advanced from Group D after finishing second behind Cameroon. Ghana opened the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Cape Verde before suffering a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon. A 1-1 draw against Mali in their final group game was enough to send them into the knockout stage.Head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren believes his side has improved throughout the competition and will need to maintain that progress against a Malawi team he describes as hard-working and dangerous.Malawi possess quality in attack, but Björkegren has warned his players against simply sitting deep. Ghana will need to defend with discipline while keeping possession and creating chances of their own."We can't just defend with 11 players. We need to find a balance, do what we can to defend against them, but also believe in ourselves, keep the ball and take care of our chances," Bjorkegren said.Ghana will draw confidence from their recent 4-0 friendly victory over Malawi in Casablanca, but Evelyn Badu...

We cannot afford to waste 45 minutes and then go into the second half chasing the game."The midfielder insists the entire squad must remain united from the opening whistle."We have to come out of the first half strong, fighting together as a team."Ghana's quarterfinal against Malawi carries added significance, with a place in the semifinals and qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup at stake.Badu says the Black Queens are determined to go beyond the bronze medal they won at the previous WAFCON."We won the medal last year, but we...
