CAF Postpones WAFCON 2026 to July 25–August 16 Over Logistical Hurdles

The Confederation of African Football has postponed the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to ensure ideal conditions for teams and players. The tournament, originally set for March 17, 2026, will now run from July 25 to August 16. CAF’s acting Secretary-General, Samson Adamu, said logistical challenges made the original schedule untenable. He noted that after the success of the men’s Africa Cup of Nations, organisers are committed to delivering a high-quality women’s competition.
