Preparations for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations: Malawi to play two friendlies ahead of the tournament

Malawi intensifies preparations: The Scorchers have scheduled two friendly matches in Morocco ahead of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

With just over a week before the opening whistle, the Malawi women’s national team is ramping up their preparations. The squad is set for two warm-up games on Moroccan soil.

The first clash is set for July 16 in Rabat against hosts Morocco. Exactly one week later, on July 23, Malawi will face Ghana, who defeated Ivory Coast 1-0 on Tuesday.

These two encounters will provide the technical staff with a perfect opportunity to test the squad before the tournament kicks off. The 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will take place in Morocco from July 25 to August 16. With this schedule, Malawi aims to enter the competition at peak readiness and competitive strength.
