Morocco reaffirms readiness to host the rescheduled Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) in July despite last-minute cancellation of March dates. Senior government official Ryad Mezzour confirmed the kingdom’s preparedness to welcome the tournament "any time," though the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has yet to officially reconfirm the venue. The delay, attributed to "unforeseen circumstances," has left teams like Ghana stranded mid-preparation, with players reportedly arriving in the UAE before the postponement.

Caf president Patrice Motsepe stated alternative hosts couldn’t adjust dates, fueling speculation about women’s football’s lower priority compared to the men’s Afcon, which faced similar pandemic-related disruptions but avoided cancellation.
