Hey all, I'm watching the build up on SuperSport and why does it look like it'll be a near empty stadium for the Final or is it too early to Judge? What's going on???

Whats the visual at the Moulay El Hassan Stadium?? If turn out for the Final is bad. That worries me because how do we expect Women's Football to grow if the Biggest Game in Women's Continental Football is ignored like this with the attendance at the Stadium.. Am I overreacting or should we worry?

The Low turnout for the Women's AFCON Final has disappointed me. I thought there'd be a higher number for what is the Final Game of the Premier Women's Competition in Africa. But it has also helped me recognize a pattern.

The Last 2 Men's AFCON Finals had Hosts involved. Morocco in 2025 and Côte d'Ivoire in 2023, 2021 cannot be properly judged because it had a limited crowd of 40,000 out of 60,000 and even the 2019 Final in Egypt between Senegal and Algeria did not pack out the Cairo Intl Stadium.

Should we be worried about this? That Major Continental Finals not involving hosts pack out the Stadium. Ghana in 2018 had a decent crowd for the Women's AFCON Final.

Not to mention the Failure of the Single Leg Champions League and Confederations Cup Finals in 2022. What does this say about Continental Competitions. If the fact that National Continental Competitions lose their appeal to the host nation after they have been eliminated.

The largest attended AFCON Game I remember was the 2013 AFCON Final between Nigeria and Burkina Faso at FNB Stadium as it had 83,000 people there.

What are your thoughts? Does CAF need to do more? Should CAF do more like with the Men's AFCON making the women's Tournament a Quadrennial Cycle Tournament. Pour More Money in the Junior Tournaments??

And regarding the Women's AFCON should it change from being a World Cup Qualifier and create a Separate Format for Women's World Cup Qualifying.

After this 2026 World Cup, the level from African teams have risen tremendously, from the biggest to the snallest Afrucan teams 9/10 qualified and despite most of them not going through, they showed that with a lottle bit of experience and malice they can go far.

So my question is which teams do you think might win the world cup in the future.

Without Biased I will say

Senegal have a very good chance, and I still don't understand how they lost against Belgium,

Morocco too, I think they are the favourites cause they PLAY until the end, evenctho against France despite France being the superior team they just didn't play.

Côte D'Ivioire is a good team but I think except for Diomandè they lack a team who is full of stars like the one with Drogba, Kolo and Yaya Tourè, Solomon Kalou etc.

Tbh I think Cabo Verde if they keep the work they are doing and start to invest in local players and in the local league the way Spain did before their 2008-2012 ran.

Camerun despite being a powerhouse and having a great legacy struggled a lot so I don't see them winning

Ghana either, despite having very talented players like Sementi, Partey, Inñaki Williams, it seem that the coach they are under don't know how to use them.

For the rest of the team nobody comes to mind in the moment but I am sure you guys could also add your takes about it.

I really hope an African team can win soon tbh it would be so nice to see some of us fellow African brothers win.

I hope after the World Cup, that more people tune into and watch the African Cup of Nations as a tournament especially since so many people watch the Euros and Copa America

That is why I want the African Cup of Nations to have a greater broadcast in all sorts of different countries just like how the Euros and Copa America do it

Because it will shine a greater light on us Africans and our tournament
