The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) group stage draw has placed Cameroon and Ghana in Group D, alongside Cape Verde and Mali. The tournament is scheduled to take place in Morocco from July 5 to July 26, 2026.
Cameroon, a two-time runner-up, and Ghana, a four-time semifinalist, are considered favorites to advance from the group. However, Cape Verde and Mali are expected to be competitive, with Cape Verde making their second WAFCON appearance after debuting in 2022.
The group stage matches will be played across multiple venues in Morocco. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals. The tournament also serves as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
