Tunisia women's national team head coach Kamel Saada has admitted that Nigeria, Algeria and Botswana will pose great threats to their group at the upcoming Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
Tunisia are paired in Group B alongside the Super Falcons, Algeria and Botswana for the tournament that kicks off in Morocco on July 5.
In an interview with CAFOnline ahead of the tournament, Saada acknowledged the formidable quality of the teams and described the group as one of the most competitive for the tournament.
“It’s a tough group. Everyone knows the quality of Nigeria. Algeria is improving fast. Botswana too. We’re not underestimating anyone. We’ll need to be disciplined, focused, and play our best football,” Saada stated.
“We’re preparing match by match with attention to physical, tactical, and mental aspects. All players are present. The mindset is good. The team that plays smart, cohesive football can pull off surprises,” he said.
Tunisia reached the quarterfinals in the last edition of WAFCON in 2022 and will look to go further this time, however, Nigeria, who are nine time winners will pose the biggest threat, further acknowledging the qualities of Algeria and Botswana.
Tunisia’s WAFCON 2024 campaign will begin against Nigeria’s Super Falcons in Casablanca on Sunday, July 6, with further matches against Algeria and Botswana in Group B.
