The Women's Africa Cup of Nations 2026 is set to take place in Morocco, featuring 16 teams competing for berths in the 2027 Women's World Cup. The tournament, which begins today, has been delayed and will run for 22 days, concluding with the final on August 16 in Rabat. The competition will be held across five stadiums in two cities, Rabat and Casablanca, marking a significant expansion from the previous 12-team format. While Nigeria aims to defend its title, other strong contenders include Ghana, Zambia, and the host nation, Morocco. Notable players such as Nigeria's Rasheedat Ajibade and Zambia's Racheal Kundananji are expected to showcase their talents. However, independent confirmation of the tournament's details remains limited, and the context surrounding Morocco's hosting has been influenced by previous controversies in men's football events.
