CAN Féminine 2026: official lineups for Burkina Faso vs South Africa revealed
Kick-off is set for 20:00 GMT at the Stade Moulay Rachid in Casablanca. On matchday three of Group B, Burkina Faso (3 points) take on South Africa (1 point). The stakes are crystal clear: a spot in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco is up for grabs.
Burkina on the counter, South Africa banking on experience
After a 1-4 defeat to Ivory Coast, the Stallions Ladies secured their first-ever win in the finals phase with a 2-1 victory over Tanzania. Sitting second in the group, they now have a historic chance to reach the quarter-finals for the first time ever. Their strategy could revolve around rapid offensive play to catch a more solid South African side off guard.
On the other side, Banyana Banyana have both possession and experience. After a 1-2 loss to Tanzania and a 2-2 draw with Ivory Coast, the 2022 champions are in a do-or-die situation. Nothing but a win will keep their hopes alive, but they have a flawless record in their final group game for the past seven editions.
