During a rare in-depth interview Veron Mosengo-Omba, general secretary of the Confederation of African Football (Caf), promised that an announcement on the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) in Morocco would arrive by the end of this month revealing there is a strong chance it could be switched to next year.
Mosengo-Omba confirmed that Caf could stage the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), also set to be hosted by Morocco, in early 2026 because of the timing of Fifa's new 32-team Club World Cup.
Scheduling is a nightmare for everybody. Caf's statutes say both iterations of the Nations Cup should be held once every two years - rather than once every four as is the case with most major championships.
We need to make sure that the dates that we'll be choosing will be in the interests of the players, said the Swiss-Congolese, highlighting issues around the workload of the continent's elite players.
