The 2026 edition of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations is set to be moved to July following uncertainty surrounding the initial schedule, Nigeriasoccernet.com understands.
The tournament was originally planned to take place between March 17 and April 3 in Morocco, but preparations and organisational concerns have raised doubts about the competition starting as scheduled.
While the Confederation of African Football has yet to issue an official statement, reports suggest the continental football body has internally decided to postpone the tournament.
According to emerging details, CAF is now considering staging the competition from July 25 to August 16, shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to take place between June 11 and July 19.
An official announcement regarding the new dates is expected soon from CAF. However, uncertainty still surrounds the host nation.
On Wednesday, Gayton McKenzie, the Sports Minister of South Africa, increased pressure on Morocco by declaring that his country is ready to step in and host the tournament should Morocco decide to withdraw.
