The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) begins in Morocco on July 26, featuring 16 teams for the first time. Nigeria aims for its 11th title, while debutants Cape Verde and Malawi look to make an impact. The tournament will run until August 16, with matches scheduled in Rabat, Casablanca, and Fes.
The competition includes a significant incentive, as the four semi-finalists will qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. With increased prize money and heightened stakes, this tournament is poised to attract attention in the women's football landscape.
