Ghana will face South Africa in a contest for third place honors at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, on Friday, July 25, 2025.
The Black Queens suffered a painful 4-2 loss to Morocco on penalty shootouts at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat on Tuesday.
Making their first semi-final appearance since 2016, Ghana took the lead through Stella Nyamekye's opportunistic strike midway through the first half.
However, Morocco fought back and restored parity after Sakina Ouazraoui profited from some questionable defending in the second half.
South Africa on the other hand, conceded a dramatic stoppage-time goal in the other semi-final.
The defending champions conceded first when Rasheedat Ajibade converted a penalty on the stroke of half-time after Bambanani Mbane was penalised for handling Folashade Ijamilusi's shot.
But the holders restored parity on the hour mark through Linda Motlhalo spot-kick.
Both Ghana and South Africa will earn $300,000 each for making the semi-final and there is an additional $50,000 for the winner of Friday's play off.
