The recurring uncertainty about Wafcon, which has been continually disrupted since 2020, has enraged African women’s football. Firdose Moonda, a Guardian contributor, was to travel from Kolkata in India to Morocco, with her return home to South Africa being the final leg of her journey. He said that South Africa was prepared to host the tournament should Morocco abandon the responsibility. Mid-level Caf staff charged with Wafcon preparations have also had to abruptly stop what they were doing. Bestine Kazadi Ditabala [of DR Congo, Caf’s fourth vice-president] is the head of the women’s football committee.
