Africa will send a quartet of teams to the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time, which includes two debutants at the tournament to be staged in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20.
It will be a month-long celebration of football and the great strides the women's game has made in recent years to create a product that has a growing army of fans and admirers.
Just what impact the African sides can make remains to be seen. Nigeria have appeared at every tournament played since 1991, while continental champions South Africa will play their second finals having debuted in 2019.
North African side Morocco and southern African nation Zambia take their places for the first time, but are packed with potential.
