In the preliminary round, Cameroon was defeated. For almost three decades, the Indomitable Lionesses had not missed a single Women’s AFCON. Ivory Coast was denied the chance to participate in the continental match as well. The group had already missed the competition in 2022.

The teams to keep an eye on are South Africa, Morocco, and Nigeria, who advanced to the FIFA Women’s World Cup round of 16.

Nigeria has won nine times, and South Africa is the current champion. Ghana, a three-time finalist, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a bronze medallist, returned victorious to the competition.

The Leopards eliminated two-time champion Equatorial Guinea with a 2-1 victory following a tie between the two sides in the opening round.

Twelve teams competed in the competition for the first time in the 2022 edition; up until then, only eight teams did. It also became known as the edition that shattered records for audience size and attendance.
