Nigeria secured a record-extending 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations title in Rabat in July last year
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 Confederation of African Football (Caf) in a statement released on Thursday said it was rescheduling the tournament due to "unforseen [sic] circumstances".
The tournament, which this year 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.
Morocco was set to stage a third successive edition of the finals but reports of a potential hosting change had created anxiety among players and fans in recent weeks.
