Egypt women’s team falls to Zambia 6-0
Egypt's women's national team lost to Zambia with a score of 6-0 in the opening match of the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations held in Morocco. Zambia scored two goals in the first half through Rachel Nchemba, and continued their dominance in the second half by netting three consecutive goals, including a hat-trick from Barbara Banda, who added a fourth goal at the end. The heavy defeat is a setback for Egypt, who are seeking to make up for their upcoming loss against Malawi in Group C. This is Egypt's third participation in the tournament, and they aim to achieve an unprecedented milestone by qualifying for the knockout stages for the first time, after the tournament was expanded to include 16 teams. The first round matches are scheduled from July 26 to August 6.
