Twelve nations will take part in this edition of 2024 postponed to this year, which will take place in Morocco. The host country is in Group A, along with Zambia, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Group B includes Nigeria, Tunisia, Botswana, and Algeria. The reigning South African champions, the Banyana Banyana, will play in Group C, along with Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania.
The competition will kick off this Saturday with the opening game between Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses and Zambia’s Copper Queens. Nigeria, the most titled nation in the history of the tournament with nine victories, will begin its campaign against Tunisia in Casablanca.
