Babajide Criticizes CAF for WAFCON 2026 Postponement
Omorinsola Babajide, a forward for the Super Falcons and player for Italian club Roma, criticized the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for postponing the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The tournament was initially set to commence in Morocco on March 17, 2026, but has been rescheduled to July 2026 due to unforeseen circumstances.
Babajide labeled the postponement as "embarrassing," particularly as the 16 qualifying teams had already begun preparations and were engaged in friendly matches during the recent international window. The decision by CAF was announced on a Thursday, reflecting the organization's response to the current situation affecting the tournament's scheduling.
