The Head of Women’s Football at CAF, Meskerem Tadesse Goshime, has called for continued investment in women’s football on the continent.
According to her, although women’s football in Africa is on the rise, there is a need to put in more work.
“Our football is on the rise. Our teams have proven their talent, resilience, and determination in recent FIFA competitions. Africa is now being taken seriously. But there’s still work to do. We must keep investing, structuring, and professionalising.
“We must ensure fair access to opportunities for all. Looking ahead to upcoming U-20, U-17 World Cups and club competitions, we’re eager to see how far our teams can go,” Meskerem Tadesse Goshime told CAFOnline in an interview ahead of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The 2024 edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to kick off in Morocco on July 5.
The tournament will conclude on July 26 with a grand finale.
