Showmax Pro, in partnership with SuperSport, the official rights-holder for FIFA events on South African television, has announced that it will be live streaming the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The tournament will take place in Australia and New Zealand from 20 July 2023, and will feature an exciting line-up of talented athletes.

African Presence in the 2023 Women’s World Cup

This year’s World Cup will have the strongest African presence in history, with four countries from the continent competing for the title. South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, and Morocco will all be vying for glory. Of note is Zambia’s participation, marking the first time a landlocked African country has competed in a FIFA World Cup, regardless of gender.

Star Players to Watch Out For

Leading the line for Nigeria is Barcelona’s Asisat Oshoala, a prolific striker with an impressive track record playing for renowned clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal. Oshoala has also made her mark in previous FIFA Women’s World Cups, scoring in both the 2015 and 2019 tournaments.

Zambia’s Copper Queens will be captained by Barbra Banda, known for her clinical finishing and exceptional goal-scoring abilities. Banda made history as the first female Olympian to score back-to-back hat-tricks during the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

Refiloe Jane, a midfield dynamo who plays for Sassuolo in Italy, will lead South Africa’s Banyana Banyana. With her technical finesse and leadership skills, Jane will guide the reigning WAFCON champions into the knockout stages of the tournament.

Morocco’s Lionesses of Atlas will draw inspiration from Rosella Ayane, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. After a runner-up position in last year’s WAFCON, the women’s team from Morocco will make their debut in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, emulating the success of their male counterparts who reached the semi-finals in the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar.

Banyana Banyana’s Schedule

South African fans will be eager to follow the progress of Banyana Banyana, who will kick off their campaign against Sweden at the Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand on 23 July 2023 at 07:00. The team will then face Argentina at the Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on 28 July at 02:00 before playing Italy on 2 August 2023 at 09:00, returning to the Wellington Regional Stadium for their final group stage match.

With the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup set to be a thrilling showcase of African talent on the global stage, football fans across Africa can look forward to exhilarating competition and captivating performances from their favorite teams and players. Showmax Pro’s live streaming platform will make this historic event accessible to fans across the continent.
