The 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) is set to get underway in Morocco after a long wait. The tournament will kick-start from July 5 with the best of the women African football teams featuring in the tournament.
The 15th edition of WAFCON was initially scheduled for 2024, but was postponed to avoid clashing with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
South Africa enters as defending champions.
