The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has postponed the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) less than two weeks before the tournament kicks off.
The Super Falcons of Nigeria secured a record-extending 10th title in Rabat in July last year, and are set to defend their title this year.
This year’s tournament, which doubles up as a qualifier for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, was scheduled to be held from 17 March to 3 April.
But in a statement released on Thursday, CAF said it was rescheduling the tournament to July due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
The tournament will now be held from 25 July-16 August, it said, stating that “preparations for the tournament are underway”.
