Morocco vs Ghana Preview

• Tournament: 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations
• Date: Tuesday, 22 July 2025
• Kick-Off: 19:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Olympic Stadium, Rabat

The semifinals of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations will witness an enticing clash as the dominant Morocco takes on a resilient Ghana side on Tuesday evening. The Morocco vs Ghana clash will take place at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat and should be a fascinating back-and-forth battle between the two in-form teams. Here is our Morocco vs Ghana Preview.

The Morocco Women's team have powered their way into the semifinals of the Women's AFCON, having won three of their four matches so far in dominant fashion. After a shaky start to the tournament by drawing against Zambia, Morocco have since roared back to win their last three games and scored 10 goals in four matches in the competition already. Jorge Vilda will be determined to ensure that his side can tap into their ruthless best for this crucial final stretch of the tournament. He will, of course, need them to maintain utmost concentration defensively and keep a sturdy line, but will mostly prioritize them on being innovative with their fast-attacking moves and clinical with the final product to sail into the final in style.

Ghana Women's National football team have had their share of ups and downs in the 2024 AFCON so far, which included a bad start to the tournament with a loss to South Africa. They were held to a draw in their second game, but won their final group game in style to get past their group as runners-up. They went on to produce a gritty performance against Algeria, defeating them on penalties to reach the semifinals. Kim Bjorkergren will hope that his side can maintain their toughness and grind their way to neutralize Morocco's attacking prowess. They will need to defend as one unit and maintain a very stubborn defensive line to frustrate their opponents, and Kim needs his players to be decisive in set-pieces and transitions to snatch a big win.

Jorge Vilda will be sweating on the fitness of Alice Kusi, who missed the last game because of a muscle injury. None of his players picked up any yellow cards in the quarterfinals, which means there are no suspension issues plaguing his squad either.

Key Players to Watch in Morocco vs Ghana

Ghizlane Chebbak (Morocco)

Ghizlane Chebbak has been an inspired leader for Morocco at the 2024 Women's AFCON, having scored four goals in as many games for her side. She is vying for the Golden Boot and is joint-top in the top scorers charts, and now aims to make a real push to make that trophy her own.

Chebbak will be looking to drive her side forward with her unpredictable forward runs and clever link-up play, but will mostly be tasked by her coach to be in the right places and clinically finish off chances to break the sturdy Ghana backline and get a win for Morocco.

Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah (Ghana)

Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has been a driving force for Ghana to help them reach the semifinals of the 2024 Women's AFCON. She has seamlessly fit into multiple roles, scoring a goal and providing an assist in the tournament so far.

Boye-Hlorkah needs to maintain her influence over her side, being smart with her forward passes to get her team forward and accurate with her final product. She will need to polish up her final product and nail her work in the key areas to torment the Morocco defenders and help her side get a shock win.

Morocco vs Ghana Prediction

This should be a pretty feisty encounter between two sides who have had relatively opposite roads to the final. Morocco should dominate the majority of the possession and aim to break the Ghana backline, but the Black Queens will look to frustrate the Moroccan players with their defensive discipline and hit them hard on counter-attacks. This game could see a lot of back-and-forth and aggressiveness between the two sets of players. However, Morocco's quality in numbers in the frontline could be too hot to handle for Ghana and allowing the Moroccan players to carve out a win. Here is our Morocco vs Ghana Prediction.

Predicted Score: Morocco 3-1 Ghana
