The build-up to the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations was chaotic, with short-notice changes to qualification and even the dates of the tournament itself. But once the action got under way, it was packed with shocks and surprises.

Cameroon scored upset wins over Nigeria and Morocco on their way to their first-ever Wafcon title, with star-making performances from the likes of Monique Ngock and Michaely Bihina. Malawi also had a fairytale run to the final, fuelled by goals from the Chawinga sisters.

But does this changing of the guard mean a brighter future for African women's football? Sophia Hartley talks to journalists Busisiwe Mokwena and Biola Solace-Chukwu about the big takeaways from this year's Wafcon, and what's next for the players and teams that made their names at the tournament.
