Africa’s Biggest Women’s Football Showdown Is Here – Live, Loud, and Unmissable!
Get ready for the biggest celebration of women’s football on the continent! From 5 to 26 July 2025, SuperSport on DStv and GOtv proudly brings you the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), live from Morocco. As Africa’s biggest sports broadcaster, SuperSport is Here for Her—championing the rise of women’s football with unmatched coverage.
Tournament Overview
This will be the 15th edition of WAFCON, officially titled the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2024. It is also marked with a historic milestone as Morocco becomes the first country to host back-to-back editions, following its successful staging of the 2022 tournament. This year, twelve of the continent’s top teams will compete across five cities and six venues: Rabat, Casablanca, Mohammédia, Oujda, and Berkane.
Falcons Seeks Redemption
Following a shock defeat to Morocco in the semi-final of the last edition, the Super Falcons look to go all the way to win a 10th WAFCON title. Led by CAF Women’s Player of the Year, Chiamaka Nnadozie, the Falcons will be in Group B, along with Tunisia, Algeria and Botswana. Falcon veteran, Asisat Oshoala, will still be a key member of the team, bringing her much needed experience to push the team forward.
The tournament promises to be competitive with defending champions, South Africa coming back as favourites while the hosts, Morocco, dream of going one better. In 2022, they reached the final and set a tournament attendance record with over 50,000 fans in the stands. Dark horses like Zambia, Ghana, Mali, and DR Congo will look to shake up the status quo.
Group Stage Breakdown
Group A: Morocco, Zambia, Senegal, DR Congo
Group B: Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria, Botswana
Africa’s most decorated side, the Super Falcons, will seek a 10th title. Despite a lacklustre 2022 campaign, Nigeria are the outright favourites and the highest-ranked team in the competition. Tunisia and Algeria have made recent strides, and Botswana could pull off surprises.
Group C: South Africa, Ghana, Mali, Tanzania
Tournament Format & Stakes
Group winners, runners-up, and the two best third-placed teams will progress to the quarterfinals. The stakes are high—not only WAFCON glory, but also vital momentum building toward the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
The 2024 WAFCON promises riveting drama: a blend of tradition and underdogs, with freshly crowned champions, veteran nations, and ambitious hosts all vying for continental supremacy. Expect highly competitive and exhilarating matches this July. You can see it all LIVE on SuperSport!
