African teams have made history at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

Three of the four sides that represented the continent made it to the knockouts, the first time such is happening in the competition.

Nigeria, South Africa, and Morocco all reached the tournament’s round of 16 while Zambia were eliminated after losing two of their first ties.

While none of the African teams won their first games in Australia and New Zealand, they did not lose their last round of matches at the competition. That was enough to earn three of them a place in the next phase of the football showpiece.

Being the first African side to reach the Women’s World Cup knockout phase, the Super Falcons once again set the pace for other teams from the continent in Australia and New Zealand.

They were the first African team to reach the next stage of the tournament this year. Nigeria earned five points to finish runners-up in Group after drawing Canada and Ireland with a win over co-hosts Australia.
