Randy Waldrum’s side are the most successful in the competition having won nine Women Afcon trophies since it inception and are on course for a record tenth.
As far as football rivalries are concerned, this is one of the richest on the continent and this cuts across both women and men’s categories.

Both are physical and athletic teams that will need to dig deep to progress to the next level.
Nigeria come into this one as the favourites to win, courtesy of their pedigree at this tournament – having won nine titles and having also scored the most tournament goals so far – seven to be exact.
On the other hand, Cameroon started slowly with a goalless draw against Zambia, but have since found their feet in the tournament and can now be taken seriously as title contenders.
This one is a must-watch!
