The 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) is facing uncertainty following a growing campaign by Moroccan football supporters urging the country to withdraw from hosting African competitions after controversial CAF disciplinary decisions stemming from the AFCON 2025 final between Morocco and Senegal, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The backlash is linked to rulings by the CAF Disciplinary Committee, which many Moroccan fans believe were unjust and biased against the host nation. Supporters have accused the Confederation of African Football (CAF) of setting a dangerous precedent that could encourage teams to walk out of matches without facing serious consequences.
As part of the protest, sections of Moroccan fans are now calling on the Moroccan Football Federation and the government to reconsider Morocco’s role as a regular host of major CAF tournaments, including both men’s and women’s competitions.
In strong statements circulating widely on social media, protesters declared: “No future hosting of any African championships, for either men or women. Any national team that does not have a regulation-standard stadium will not play on Moroccan soil. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) must be explicitly informed that Morocco is no longer a convenient solution to its accumulated problems.”
They further added: “Any Moroccan team that experiences injustice in Egypt, Algeria, or any other African country must withdraw.”
The campaign has heightened concerns over Morocco’s commitment to hosting future CAF events, with WAFCON 2026 now emerging as one of the competitions potentially affected by the unrest.
As of now, there has been no official response from either the Moroccan Football Federation or CAF, but the growing agitation among supporters is placing pressure on authorities and casting a shadow over Morocco’s status as a dependable host for African football tournaments.
