MATCH FACTS: Nigeria start TotalEnergies CAF WAFCON campaign against Tunisia
Perennial favourites Nigeria take on Tunisia in their opening Group B game at the TotalEnergies Women's Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2024, with the clash set for the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca on Sunday (kick-off 17:00 local time / 16:00 GMT). This match marks the second meeting between Nigeria and Tunisia at the TotalEnergies Women's Africa Cup of Nations. The only previous encounter between the two nations came at the 2008 tournament, when they played out a goalless draw in their second Group B game in Bata, Equatorial Guinea. In that 2008 edition, Nigeria had drawn 1-1 with Ghana in their opening match, while Tunisia lost 2-1 to South Africa. Nigeria advanced as group runners-up alongside South Africa, while Tunisia finished bottom of the group. This will be Nigeria's seventh match against North African opposition at WAFCON. They remain unbeaten in open play (W4 D2). Their only defeat to a North African side came via penalties at the 2022 finals, after a 1-1 draw with hosts Morocco in the semi-finals. Nigeria begin a WAFCON tournament against North African opposition for the third time. In previous such openers, they beat Morocco 8-0 in 1998 and Algeria 4-0 in both 1998 and 2004. Nigeria won their first four WAFCON games against North African opponents before drawing their last two—against Tunisia in 2008 and Morocco in 2022. In six WAFCON matches against North African teams, Nigeria have scored 25 goals and conceded just one. They kept clean sheets in each of their first five such matches before conceding in the 2022 semi-final against Morocco, a match they eventually lost on penalties. This fixture will be Tunisia's fifth WAFCON match against West African opposition. Their record stands at P4 W1 D2 L1. Tunisia previously drew 0-0 with Nigeria and lost 3-2 to Ghana in the 2008 group stage. In 2022, they defeated Togo 4-1, and then drew 0-0 with Senegal in a 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Intercontinental Play-off (ultimately losing on penalties).
