Welcome to Soccernet’s live coverage of Nigeria against South Africa, as the Super Falcons and Banyana Banyana meet in Casablanca with a place in the FIFA Women’s World Cup inter-confederation play-offs at stake.

Soccer Follow Nigeria vs South Africa live here:

Both sides arrive off the back of narrow quarter-final heartbreak. Nigeria dominated possession and fired in 19 shots against Cameroon but were undone by a single first-half goal, while South Africa pushed hosts Morocco all the way before falling 2-1 despite a second-half strike from Thembi Kgatlana.

Justine Madugu’s Super Falcons will be desperate to sharpen their finishing after failing to convert nine shots on target in the Cameroon defeat, with Asisat Oshoala, Rasheedat Ajibade and Chiamaka Nnadozie all expected to retain their places at the heart of the team.

Desiree Ellis’ Banyana Banyana take confidence from showing they can compete with Africa’s best, and will again look to Kgatlana, alongside Hildah Magaia and Linda Motlhalo, to provide a spark up front.

The 10-time African champions hold the stronger head-to-head record overall, though South Africa have caused problems in recent meetings, including a 2-1 win at the 2022 WAFCON and a goalless draw in the 2024 Olympic qualifiers.

Stay with us for team news, build-up and live updates as Madugu and Ellis’s sides fight for their World Cup lifeline in Morocco.
