The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco kicks off its second day of competition at 17:00 GMT. South Africa and Tanzania go head-to-head in the opening match of Group A. Just minutes before this clash, both head coaches have revealed their starting elevens.

Two contrasting philosophies

Banyana Banyana are banking on their style of play and experience. Built for possession and clinical in attack, South Africa will rely on their offensive firepower to make the difference. The 2022 champions arrive hungry for another trophy.

On the other side, Tanzania comes in with a disciplined block and a desire to impose their physical presence. The Twiga Stars aim to match the intensity and hit on the counter.
