Morocco to host Women's Africa Cup of Nations 2024 : Full schedule and key matches revealed
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) unveiled the official schedule for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2024) on Friday. The tournament will take place in Morocco from July 5 to 26. The opening match will feature the host nation against Zambia (Group A) on Saturday, July 5, at 9:00 PM local time at the brand-new Rabat Olympic Stadium, according to a CAF statement.
The following day, three matches are scheduled, including the highly anticipated clash between Nigeria—the most successful nation in African women's football—and Tunisia, the statement adds. Morocco's second group match is set for Wednesday, July 9, at 8:00 PM against Congo, followed by a game against Senegal on July 12 at 8:00 PM.
Group B includes Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana, while Group C features South Africa, Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania.
The semifinals will be held on Tuesday, July 22, with the final scheduled for Saturday, July 26, at 9:00 PM, again at the Rabat Olympic Stadium.
Building on the success of previous editions, the Women's CAN Morocco 2024 reflects the rapid growth of CAF competitions over the past four years. Records are expected in stadium attendance, global television audiences, and digital engagement, CAF said.
To meet the highest international standards, CAF will use cutting-edge technology to deliver live, high-definition broadcasts of all 26 matches to a global audience via its television partners.
Last Tuesday, CAF announced the six stadiums that will host the tournament's matches: Larbi Zaouli and Père Jégo Stadiums in Casablanca, the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, El Bachir Stadium in Mohammedia, Honor Stadium in Oujda, and the Municipal Stadium in Berkane.
