The status of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations remains uncertain less than two weeks before the tournament is scheduled to begin in Morocco, prompting the Confederation of African Football to announce it will clarify the situation in the coming days.

Morocco is set to host the tournament for the third consecutive time from March 17 to April 3. However, persistent reports suggest the country may withdraw from hosting duties, creating uncertainty around the 16th edition of the continental championship.

CAF President Patrice Motsepe addressed the situation on February 13, stating that the tournament was planned to proceed in Morocco as scheduled. "We still have an engagement with Morocco," Motsepe said at the time, indicating ongoing discussions with Moroccan officials.

Motsepe also ruled out changing the tournament dates, emphasizing the event's importance as a qualifying tournament for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. The dual purpose of the competition adds complexity to any potential hosting changes, as alterations could impact qualification schedules for the global tournament.

The uncertainty comes at a critical time for African women's football, with teams and officials needing clarity on venue arrangements and logistics. CAF's promise to provide clarification in the coming days suggests a resolution may be imminent, though the nature of that resolution remains unclear.
