The South African Football Association (SAFA) President Danny Jordaan has revealed that SAFA will bid to host the Africa Women Cup of Nations in 2024.

South Africa hosted the tournament in the 2000, 2004 and 2010 with the Super Falcon of Nigeria winning all three editions in South Africa.


“As far as the Africa Women Cup of Nations is concerned, we [Banyana Banyana] have qualified for the 2022 tournament in Morocco [from 2 July to 23 July]. Our team made it to the final in Ghana [in 2018 where they lost to Nigeria on penalties].

“They are going to Morocco and we are hoping they will be in the final of this competition. Certainly they must qualify for the World Cup. On that basis, we have indicated to CAF we are keen to host the 2024 Women’s Cup of Nations. We will be discussing this matter with the minister of sport, Minister Nathi Mthethwa, and ask government to give us support to make that bid because it is not a once-off match, it is a tournament.

“Therefore we need to get government support for the bid to host the Afcon for women in 2024. I think we should have a significantly strong team by then to hopefully be in the final and win it,” he said
