The 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Arabic: كأس الأمم الإفريقية للسيدات 2024, French: Coupe d'Afrique des nations féminine 2024), officially known as the 2024 TotalEnergies Women's Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship purposes and as WAFCON 2024 for short, will be the 15th edition of the biennial African women's football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football. It will be hosted by Morocco in consecutive editions, having hosted the previous edition two years before.[2]

South Africa are the defending champions.

Host selection

CAF retained Morocco as hosts on 10 August 2022,[3][2] thus becoming the first country to host back-to-back WAFCON editions.

Qualification

Morocco qualified automatically as hosts, while the remaining spots will be determined by the qualification rounds, whose draw was conducted on 6 July 2023 at the Mohammed VI Complex in Rabat, Morocco and will commence in August.[4]

Tiebreakers

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss).

If two teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Article 74):[5]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches match between the two tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in all group matches;
  3. Goals scored in all group matches;
  4. Drawing of lots.

If more than two teams were tied, the following criteria were applied instead:

  1. Points in matches between the tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in matches between the tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in matches between the tied teams;
  4. If after applying all criteria above, two teams were still tied, the above criteria were again applied to matches played between the two teams in question. If this did not resolve the tie, the next three criteria were applied;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Drawing of lots.
