This tournament also decided which African teams could go to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The top four teams got to go to the World Cup, and two more teams had a chance to get in through play-offs with teams from other parts of the world.[3]
Before this tournament, Nigeria had won it three times in a row in 2014, 2016, and 2018. But this time, they got knocked out in the semi-finals by Morocco after a penalty shootout. It was the first time that neither Nigeria nor Equatorial Guinea made it to the final match. In the final, Morocco lost to South Africa, and that was the first time South Africa had ever won this tournament. They had tried five times before and never won it. With this win, South Africa became only the second country, after Nigeria, to win both the men's and women's competitions.
This was also the first time they had 12 teams in the tournament because the 2020 edition, which should have been the first one with 12 teams, got canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. The semi-final between Morocco and Nigeria had a record number of people watching, with 45,562 spectators.[4]
Morocco got into the competition because they were the hosts. The other eleven places were decided by the games that teams played to get in.
