The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations has been postponed just 12 days before the finals were set to kick off in Morocco. The tournament will now be held from 25 July-16 August, it said, stating that "preparations for the tournament are underway". The 2024 Wafcon, won by Nigeria, was only held in July last year because of scheduling conflicts including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Wafcon is the second continental tournament to be moved at short notice in the past 14 months. Caf postponed the 2024 African Nations Championship just 18 days before it was due to start in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda on 1 February 2025.
