In a historic move to elevate women’s football on the continent, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the unveiling of a brand-new trophy for the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), ahead of the 2024 edition of the tournament set to begin this weekend in Morocco.

The new trophy will be officially launched on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, in the host nation, as part of CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe’s strategic vision to grow and promote women’s football across Africa.

CAF confirmed that the unveiling will be conducted in two phases: an initial digital launch across the confederation’s official platforms in the afternoon, followed by a formal activation event in the evening in collaboration with title sponsor, TotalEnergies.

Fans across the continent and beyond will be able to follow the trophy reveal live via CAF’s social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

 “This is a significant moment for women’s football in Africa. The new WAFCON trophy represents the growing status and importance of the women’s game on the continent,” CAF said in a statement.

Details regarding the design and symbolism of the new trophy will be made public during the official launch.

The TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2024 kicks off on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, where hosts Morocco will face Zambia in the tournament opener. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 local time (20:00 GMT / 23:00 Cairo / 22:00 Lusaka).

This year’s edition promises to be one of the most competitive yet, with top nations vying not just for continental glory but also a place in the growing legacy of African women’s football.
