The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) will commence on July 26 in Morocco, following a postponement from its original March dates. This tournament is crucial as it serves as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, with the top four semi-finalists earning spots in Brazil.
Sixteen teams will compete in four groups, with matches held in Rabat and Casablanca. The tournament will conclude with the final on August 16, and Morocco aims to leverage its recent investments in football infrastructure to enhance its women's team's performance.
