The tournament’s match ball’s strong identity is made of colors filled with symbols related to football and represents the values of unity, progress, challenge, initiative, diversity and experience that has characterized the growth of African women’s football to reach the lofty heights it occupies today.
The continental showpiece will be hosted across two cities, Rabat and Casablanca, and kicks off with a clash pitting hosts Morocco and Burkina Faso at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat.
