The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has confirmed Morocco as host of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
There were reports that Morocco will pull out from hosting the competition with South Africa on standby to step in.
CAF’s President, Patrice Motsepe, however, poured cold waters on the rumours during his interaction with the media in Dar es Salam, Tanzania, yesterday.
Motsepe also confirmed that the date for the WAFCON 2026 finals remain unchanged.
Morocco also hosted the last two editions of the WAFCON.
The competition will run from 17 March to 3 April, 2026.
It will also serve as the qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The four semi-finalists will qualify for Brazil 2027.
