Wafcon — or the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations — is heating up. Ahead of the final this Saturday in Morocco, only four teams out of twelve remain: Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco and Ghana. The tournament first took place in 1991 and since then, it’s taken off, with the Confederation of African Football reporting that more that more people are tuning in to watch every twist and turn of the competition. It’s given football stars from across the continent a chance to show off their skills on the world stage - and put the spotlight firmly on the women’s game.
So which team will get to hold up the cup this year? And how is the tournament changing attitudes to women’s football across Africa?
BBC Africa sports reporter Celestine Karoney explains how the tournament has changed over the years and what challenges female players still face. And the BBC’s Sara Menai updates us on the latest from the tournament as the last four teams battle it out for the cup.
