Stay up to date with every major development at the ongoing WAFCON 2026, including the latest fixtures, match results, group standings, and other essential updates as Africa’s top women’s national teams battle for continental glory.
The 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations marks the tournament’s expansion to 16 participating nations, up from the previous 12-team format. The competition will be staged across five stadiums, with three located in Rabat and two in Casablanca.
The participating teams have been drawn into four groups of four, with the top sides advancing to the knockout rounds. Reaching the semi-finals carries added significance, as all four semi-finalists will earn direct qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
Teams eliminated in the quarter-finals will still have another pathway to the World Cup. The four defeated quarter-finalists will contest additional play-off matches to determine Africa’s two representatives in the FIFA Women’s World Cup inter-confederation play-offs, offering one final opportunity to secure a place at the global tournament.
