2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations knockout stage
Knockout stage of the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations
The knockout stage of the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations began on 13 July 2022 with the quarter-finals and ended on 23 July 2022 with the final.
In the knockout phase, if a match is level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team is allowed to make a fourth substitution. If still tied after extra time, the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winners. In the repêchage and third-place play-offs no extra time is played and the match is decided by a direct penalty shootout.
The top two placed teams from each of the three groups, along with the two best-placed third teams, qualified for the knockout stage.
