| Women's CAN finalists decided ![]() Zimbabwe (in yellow) recorded a 5-0 victory The seven teams who will join Nigeria for the Women's African Nations Cup are now known after last weekend's final round second-leg qualifying matches. Zimbabwe finished with the most convincing goal tally, putting 10 past Tanzania over their two legs. They beat the Twiga Stars 5-0 in the second leg in Harare scoring twice in the first 10 minutes. Talent Zulu scored her first of the game in the 4th minute and Nomsa Tapfuma-Moyo doubled the score five minutes later. Before the end of the first-half Precious Mpala scored the third after a defensive blunder in the 34th minute. Pretty Phiri headed home the fourth and Zulu got her second to complete the rout. South Africa were also heavy winners in Bloemfontein beating Zambia 4-0 to take their tally to 8-1 on aggregate. In Kumasi, Ghana defeated Senegal 3-1 in Accra after winning the first-leg 3-0 in Dakar. Angola and Mali booked their first ever places in the final after penalty shoot-outs.
Mali held Morocco 0-0 in Rabat but scored all five penalties to qualify. Ilham Hamoudi missed her penalty to put Morocco out of the race. But there was drama in Kampala where Ethiopia came out of the jaws of elimination to draw 2-2 with Uganda and qualify 4-2 on aggragate. Uganda dominated the match in a one-sided affair but the She Kobs lost their 2-0 lead, which would have tied both legs. From two defensive errors the Ethiopians won a ticket to Nigeria through Endaganade Awadi, who pulled one back and Tesfaye Woinshet curled her shot to the far post to ensure qualification.
