The Confederation of African Football (CAF), in partnership with Morocco’s Local Organising Committee (LOC), has officially revealed the six stadiums that will host matches during the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), scheduled to take place from 5 to 26 July 2025.
The tournament will be played across four cities, with matches set to take place at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, the Larbi Zaouli Stadium and Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca, the El Bachir Stadium in Mohammédia, the Honor Stadium in Oujda, and the Berkane Stadium in Berkane.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, with CAF highlighting the tournament’s ambition to set new records in stadium attendance, global television viewership, and digital engagement.
Morocco, which successfully hosted the previous edition, is once again expected to stage a world-class event.
Originally slated for 2024, the competition was rescheduled to July 2025, due to the clash with the Summer Olympic Games in Paris. The tournament will feature 12 teams, grouped into three pools of four nations each.
Group A includes hosts Morocco alongside Zambia, Senegal, and DR Congo. Group B comprises Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana. Group C features defending champions South Africa, Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania.
South Africa’s Banyana Banyana will be aiming to retain the title they won in 2022 when they defeated Morocco in the final.
With a strong lineup of contenders and growing global attention on African women’s football, this edition of WAFCON promises to be one of the most competitive and widely followed in history.
