Women's Soccer in 2010[]

EQUATORIAL GUINEA has a women's soccer team nickname: Nzalang Nacional.

Previous appearances: 2006, 2008 (winners)

The defending champions qualified without kicking a ball after supposed opponents Namibia withdrew at the final round of the qualifying series.

The team caused the biggest stir when they edged past all the big guns to the ultimate during the last edition in 2008, which they hosted. Prior to that, they had stated their intent after a beating South Africa 2-1 in an impressive result in a Beijing 2008 Olympic Games qualifier on February 18, 2007, but lost the return leg 4-2.

In the 2008 edition, which they hosted, they went undefeated in Group A which featured Cameroon, Congo, and Mali. They impressively defeated Nigeria 1-0 in the semi final and went on to win the Championship beating South Africa 2-1. They became the first nation nation other than Nigeria to win the continental title.

The defending champions are housed in Group B alongside thrice runners-up Ghana, Cameroon and Algeria. They open their campaign against Cameroon on November 2, face Algeria on November 5 before coming against Ghana’s Black Princesses three days later for a place at the next edition of the FIFA World Cup.
