Africa Seeks First Win In 2023 Women's World Cup

Africa Seeks First Win In 2023 Women's World Cup

The Atlas Lioness of Morocco were demolished in their Group H opener at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium against Germany losing six goals to nothing, but African teams still seek a win at the Australia 2023 Women's World Cup, BSNSports.com.ng writes.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria opened the account for CAF at the World Cup with a stalemate against Canada streamlining their 14 attempts on goal to only 2 on target, which were saved by Chiamaka Nnadozie, resulting in a clean sheet, a penalty save, but no goal.

Up next came the Copper Queens of Zambia filing out against the Japanese at the Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, New Zealand, only to get dethroned from royalty with five unreplied goals with Zambian goalie Catherine Musonda being a culprit and paying dearly by getting sent off.

The Bayana Bayana of South Africa who's second-best in Africa but 54th in the World according to FIFA rankings, faced off against the World's 3rd-best team Sweden, but also came up short, only to salvage a goal scored by Hildah Magaia in the 48th minute.

Today, Morocco's goalie Khadija Errmichi conceded 6 goals between the 11th and 90th minute of their Group H game against Germany to further compile the misery faced by African teams at the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Monday's game ends the first round of Group matches for all four African representatives, but fans of the beautiful game back home continue to ponder when an African team will win its first game.
