Morocco edged Algeria, while Senegal beat Kenya, to set up a dramatic final round of Group A matches at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, according to allAfrica.com.
The results, reported by allAfrica.com on Friday, mean the group standings remain tight heading into the last set of fixtures. Morocco’s narrow win over Algeria keeps the hosts in a strong position, while Senegal’s victory over Kenya gives them a real chance of advancing.
Kenya’s Harambee Starlets now face a difficult path. The Starlets were beaten by Morocco earlier in the tournament, and Kenyan outlet Daily Nation reported that they were seeking redemption against a physical Senegal side in Rabat. That match, however, ended in defeat, leaving Kenya’s campaign in jeopardy. The standardmedia.co.ke described the team’s fortunes as dwindling, while the-star.co.ke quoted player Nabwire as backing the Starlets to bounce back despite the Morocco loss.
CAF’s official website framed the contest as a clash between Moroccan ambition and Kenyan freshness, but it was Morocco who came out on top. The hosts have shown consistency, while Kenya’s younger squad has struggled to convert promise into results.
With one round of matches remaining, Group A is wide open. Morocco and Senegal both have momentum, but Algeria and Kenya still have a mathematical chance to qualify. The final fixtures will decide which two teams advance to the knockout stage.
All eyes now turn to the last group games, where every result will shift the standings. Expect a tense finish as the four teams fight for a place in the quarterfinals.
