In a historic move that underscores the growing stature of women’s football across Africa, the Confederation of African Football has revealed a newly designed trophy for the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2024.
Unveiled during a glamorous ceremony co-hosted by CAF and long-standing partner TotalEnergies in Casablanca, Morocco, the trophy is more than just a symbol of sporting excellence, it’s a bold statement of progress, parity, and purpose in African football.
A Trophy Embodying Growth and Unity
Inspired by the revered men’s AFCON trophy, the new silverware for WAFCON is rich in meaning.
The design showcases an array of identical petals spiraling upward, each one signifying a participating nation. Together, they form a blossoming flower, an enduring emblem of empowerment, unity, and the unstoppable growth of women’s football on the continent.
At the center of the floral structure sits a golden globe patterned as a football and etched with the map of Africa, radiating pride, ambition, and the continent’s rising influence in the global women’s game.
The trophy is crafted in a striking blend of polished silver and matte gold, encircled by a golden ring bearing the CAF emblem.
Its base is set on immaculate white marble with subtle gold-striped accents, and the tournament name engraved in graceful matte gold lettering, an elegant finishing touch that grounds this symbol of hope and excellence in African sporting heritage.
A Beacon for the Future
The introduction of this new trophy marks a pivotal moment in CAF’s broader vision to propel African women’s football to world-class heights.
As Morocco gears up to host WAFCON 2024, the trophy will stand as a beacon for the continent’s brightest female talents and a powerful source of inspiration for the millions of girls dreaming of stardom.
This isn’t just the unveiling of a trophy, it’s the dawn of a new chapter for women’s football in Africa.
