The Mohamed VI Complex in the North African kingdom has been
scheduled to host the event, which will bundle the 12 teams qualified for the
12th edition of the tournament into three groups of four teams each.
2022 AWCON is scheduled to take place from July 2nd to 23rd.
Nine-time champions and cup holders Super Falcons have been
selected as leaders of Group C, with host nation Morocco at the top of Group A
while Cameroon will head Group B.
The other participating countries are Burkina Faso, Burundi,
Senegal, South Africa, Togo, Tunisia, Botswana, Uganda, and Zambia.
Nigeria won the Women AFCON titles in 1998, 2000, 2002,
2004, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2016, and 2018. The 2020 competition was obliterated by
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Equatorial Guinea won the competition in 2008 and 2012 but
have lost their venom and dazzle in the past few years and failed to reach this
year’s finals.
The semi-finalists from the tournament in Morocco will
represent Africa at the 32-team FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New
Zealand next year.
