The Moroccan Football Federation are expected to write to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for the postponement of the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The tournament, scheduled to take place in Morocco between March 17 and April 3, 2026 will feature 16 teams for the first time in history.
But the tournament is at risk of being postponed, as the Moroccan FA prepares to submit an official request to CAF, citing numerous pressing issues.
For Morocco, the decision to seek for postponement is due to a large number of commitments, particularly, the need to finish the Moroccan league on time (May 15, 2026), as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
Besides, the Moroccan football governing body wants to focus on the Atlas Lions preparations for the global showpiece to be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Super Falcons of Nigeria are the record holders of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, winning the title ten times. They won the previous edition and will be hoping to defend the title in the North African country.
Below are the WAFCON Group pairings:
Group A: Morocco – Algeria – Senegal – Kenya.
Group B: South Africa – Ivory Coast – Burkina Faso – Tanzania.
Group C: Nigeria – Zambia – Egypt – Malawi.
Group D: Ghana – Cameroon – Mali – Cape Verde.
