The Africa Women’s 7s transitions into the high-stakes knockout phase on Sunday, 8 November 2026, at the RFUEA Grounds.

After topping Pool B with dominant victories over Ghana (25-7) and Tunisia (19-0), the Kenya Lionesses earned the top seed for the last eight and are set to kick off Sunday’s main action at 09:00 EAT.

The quarter-final line-up features heavily contested regional showdowns across the board. Following Kenya’s opening fixture against Mauritius, an unstoppable Ugandan side, who stormed through Pool C scoring 40+ points in every match without conceding a single try, will take on a powerful South Africa side at 09:22 EAT.

Next, a defense-minded Tunisian squad faces a high-octane Malagasy side at 09:44 EAT, before an all-Southern Africa derby sees Pool A winners Zambia clash with neighbors Zimbabwe at 10:06 EAT for the final semi-final slot.

Action will move rapidly into the placement matches, semi-finals, and medal fixtures later in the afternoon.

The placement matches kick off with Ghana facing Rwanda in the 9th Place Semi-Final at 10:28 EAT, followed by the 5th Place Semi-Finals at 12:07 EAT and 12:29 EAT.

The Cup Semi-Finals will determine the title contenders at 12:51 EAT and 13:13 EAT, leading into the 11th Place Final at 13:35 EAT and the 9th Place Final at 13:57 EAT.

The final stretch of the tournament begins with the 7th Place Final at 14:59 EAT, followed by the 5th Place Final at 15:24 EAT.
