CAF postpones tournament after weeks of speculation
Decision due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’
The Confederation of African Football has confirmed the postponement of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to July-August just 12 days before the tournament was due to start.
The decision ends weeks of speculation as to whether it would go ahead as scheduled this month but leaves teams without games to play during this international break.
The tournament serves as a preliminary for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, where four African sides will gain automatic qualification, and two more will go into the inter-continental qualifiers.
