The Women Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, enters the semifinals stage tonight with four teams with an equal chance of winning the tournament for the first time ever. Morocco, Cameroon, Algeria and Malawi have never won the tournament, with Malawi appearing for the first time.
Malawi is the team to watch at the tournament after beating Africa giants along the way. They beat Nigeria 3-2 in the group stages, drew with Zambia and also beat Egypt 3-1 to top their group. Beating Ghana 2-1 in the quarterfinal was a huge statement, especially after coming from a goal down. Their game is built around lethal strikers, sisters Tabitha Chawinga and Temwa Chawinga. Ranked 153rd in the world, nobody gave them a chance at the tournament, but having already qualified for the FIFA World Cup by reaching the WAFCON semis, they are now firm favourites to reach the finals.
