Forty-four countries are officially on the starting line to play the next Women's African Cup of Nations (CAN 2022), the first to twelve teams in history.
For this CAN 2022, the African Football Confederation (CAF) also innovated during the draw.
Qualifications will in fact take place by sub-region.
This formula leads in particular to a shock between the Nigerians, queens of the continent, and the Ghanaian women, who had hosted the previous edition of the women's CAN.
There will also be an enticing Egypt-Tunisia.
A springboard to the 2023 World Cup
At the end of the first round, the 22 selections will play a second, with future shocks in perspective, such as that between the winners of Nigeria-Ghana and Niger-Côte d'Ivoire, or that between the winners of Egypt- Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea-DR Congo.
The eleven survivors of this second round will qualify for the final phase of the tournament, scheduled for July 2022 in Morocco.
The Cherifian Kingdom, which should also organize the first edition of the Women's Champions League in November / December, has great ambitions for the Atlas Lionesses.
In particular that they qualify for the next World Cup.
The semi-finalists of this CAN 2022 will effectively qualify directly for the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Two other African teams will play an international repechage tournament, according to a system yet to be clarified.
