The Postponed 2024 Women’s African Cup Of Nations Begins Today – SIXT-MEDIA LANE
The 15th edition of the CAF Women’s African Cup of Nations will begin today in Morocco.
It was postponed from 2024 due to calendar congestion. This will be the 13th edition of the tournament.
The Women’s African Cup of Nations began in 1998 when Mrs Mariam Abacha donated a trophy for the tournament and Nigeria hosted the first edition.
However there had previously been a home and away tournament to select the African representative for the FIFA Women’s Championships in 1991 and 1995 and the winner of those tournaments (Nigeria) was recognised as the champion of Africa.
The Super Falcons of Nigeria has won 9 WAFCON titles and been crowned African Champions 11 times. Therefore, this campaign has been themed Mission X (the mission is to win the tenth WAFCON title).
