Canal+ Brings Biggest Ever CAF Women’s AFCON to Celebrate African Football

What the report says

SoftPower News reports that CANAL+ has confirmed live coverage of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026 on SuperSport for audiences across Sub-Saharan Africa. The tournament is scheduled to run from July 26 to August 16, 2026, after being moved from an earlier March slot.

According to the report, Morocco will stage the competition in Rabat and Casablanca, using five venues across the two cities. The source snippet also indicates that the event will feature 34 matches, positioning the 2026 edition as the largest Women’s AFCON to date.

The broadcast arrangement matters because SuperSport remains one of the major pay-TV sports platforms in many Sub-Saharan African markets, and live regional coverage can increase visibility for women’s football, national teams and CAF competitions. CANAL+ has been expanding its sports media footprint on the continent, while CAF has been seeking broader exposure for its women’s tournaments.

Separately, the supplied public article text appears to reference a different story about Ugandan MPs joining the Pan-African Parliament, so this digest is based on the headline and source snippet provided for the SoftPower News WAFCON report. Further details such as participating teams, match-by-match schedules and venue allocations were not included in the available evidence.
