Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament postponed to European summer

## Sports Update: Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Postponement

Sports Update: Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Postponement

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the postponement of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament, initially scheduled for Morocco from March 17 to April 3. The tournament will now occur from July 25 to August 16.

CAF cited "unforeseen circumstances" as the reason for the schedule change, aiming to ensure the event's overall success. Further specifics regarding these circumstances were not disclosed.

It remains unconfirmed whether Morocco will host the tournament for the third consecutive time. The competition is a qualifier for the 2027 Women's World Cup, with the four semi-finalists securing direct qualification. Teams that lose in the quarter-finals will have another opportunity through intercontinental play-offs.
