South Africa and Tanzania faced off on July 11, 2025, in a Group C match at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, held at Honneur Stadium in Oujda, Morocco[1][4]. South Africa entered the fixture as defending champions, having won the previous tournament in Morocco and coming off an impressive 2-0 victory over Ghana in their opening match. Goals in that game were scored by Linda Motlhalo (penalty, 28th minute) and Jermaine Seoposenwe (34th minute), placing South Africa at the top of Group C on goal difference, level on points with Mali[1].
Tanzania, on the other hand, started their tournament with a narrow 1-0 loss to Mali, conceding in first-half injury time[1]. Historically, South Africa has dominated this encounter, having won all three previous meetings, including a 4-0 aggregate win in the 2024 Olympic Games Qualifiers[1]. South Africa came into the match on an eight-game winning streak, regularly scoring at least twice per game, while Tanzania’s last six matches have generally been low scoring, with one side failing to score[1].
Line-up details and in-game highlights show that Tanzania’s Opah Clement made a significant impact, scoring in the 24th minute[2]. South African player Noxolo Cesane received a yellow card in the same minute, with Jermaine Seoposenwe cautioned earlier at the 19th minute[2]. Full match statistics, squad lists, and additional coverage were made available through ESPN and other broadcasters[2][3].
This fixture is a crucial one in Group C: Mali leads the group with four points from two games, South Africa follows with three points from one game, while Ghana and Tanzania are yet to register a win[2]. The tournament format allows the top two teams in each group, plus the two best third-placed teams, to advance to the quarterfinals[6]. South Africa is aiming to defend their title and secure early qualification for the knockout rounds, while Tanzania is desperate for points to keep their quarterfinal hopes alive[7].
