## Resource

The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) is back, bigger than ever. As 16 teams battle for continental glory in Morocco, can defending champions Nigeria extend their dominance, or is Africa witnessing a new era led by new challengers like Morocco, South Africa and Zambia? Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Biola Solace Chukwu, a sports analyst from Nigeria and DW's Glory Mushinge in Lusaka.
