Sixteen teams are in Morocco for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), a tournament which also serves as the qualification competition for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.

A record 16-nation line-up — up from 12 at the previous edition — will compete, with 10-time title-holders and defending champions Nigeria the team to beat.

There have been 13 WAFCON tournaments since 1998, and, apart from Nigeria, only Equatorial Guinea twice and South Africa once have been crowned champions.

Equatorial Guinea failed to qualify this time, while South Africa are the top seeds in Group B, where they will face Tanzania, the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso.

Morocco, losers as hosts to Nigeria and South Africa in the past two finals, face Algeria, Senegal and Kenya in Group A.
