WAFCON 2024-25 - Tunisia v Algeria - Battle for the Border

Tunisia and Algeria March onto the Pitch for the Lineup

FRIDAY 11 JULY 2025 - Although sharing an international border, there was almost nothing betwixt the women's teams of these neighbouring nations.

This match was hotly contested with fierce challenges and a strong will to win every single ball. Each player lived up to the CAF slogan that she is a born winner.

Each team was well organised and drilled from their warm up, such that even defenders were comfortable and capable on the ball. This enabled fluid passing from back to front for fast countering of chances to score.

Surprising neither side scored, although that is truly a testimony to tremendous tracking (especially by the Algerian left-back) and superb shot-stopping by both goalkeepers as per the following video.
