The Confederation of African Football is set to make a decision on the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in the next 48 hours.

Discussions around whether the tournament will happen or not have intensified following reports of a possible postponement.

Reports emerged last week that CAF is considering moving the continental tournament, which will also serve as the qualifiers for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil.

While these reports have not officially been addressed since then, Head of TV and Commercial at CAF, Luxolo September, says the association will make an official statement in the coming days.

"CAF will communicate within the next 48 hours on the situation regarding the Women's Africa Cup of Nations," he wrote on his page on X, formerly Twitter.

"There have been several discussions for weeks. The matter is receiving Urgent and high-level attention."

The tournament is originally scheduled to be played from March 17 to April 3 in Morocco, with qualified countries already preparing themselves for the tournament.
