Cameroon, Malawi, Algeria and Morocco Learn 2027 World Cup Fate on December 11
Cameroon, Algeria, and Morocco booked their places at the tournament by reaching the final of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations on home soil in Morocco. Malawi joins them, set for their first-ever appearance at a World Cup finals.
FIFA confirmed the draw will bring together representatives from all 32 qualified teams, along with delegations still fighting for a spot through the play-off tournament. More than 1,000 guests are expected at MAM Rio for the event, the federation said in a statement issued Monday, though the exact broadcast time has yet to be announced.
South Africa remain in the mix but face a longer road. Banyana Banyana eliminated Nigeria 2-1 in the continental play-off, only to be pushed into an intercontinental play-off phase rather than a direct berth, meaning their World Cup fate is still unresolved heading into December.
For Cameroon, Algeria, Morocco, and Malawi, the draw will shape their group and their path from day one of what will be the first Women's World Cup staged in South America.
