The Women’s African Cup of Nations will be hosted by South Africa next month.
This is after Morocco’s withdrawal as hosts.
The updated timelines for the tournament are yet to be issued by CAF.
Deputy Minister Peace Mabe confirmed the news on Sunday
“We took an opportunity that presented itself because we feel we have the necessary infrastructure and support [to host] the WAFCON. When Morocco said: ‘We are not able to host,’ South Africa said: ‘Yes. We are available. We are going to take it.
“Given the fact that it is in 60 days as well, we are not very much worried. We just have to put systems in place. From tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 2), we will begin, ” Mabe told SABC Sport
