And how is the tournament changing attitudes to women's football across Africa?BBC Africa sports reporter Celestine Karoney explains how the tournament has changed over the years and what challenges female players still face.

“What I'd like to see is when these girls go back into society, they don't end up back in prison. It's about using football for positive social change. Football is more than just a game on the pitch and this is an example of that.” The “Football for Reform” programme kicked off in Sierra Leone last November, taking place over 8 days. Run by Caf – the Confederation of African Football – it involved female prisoners being taught football coaching skills. The hope with the project is for some of the women to find jobs in the field in the future. Alan Kasujja speaks with Isha Johansen, former President of the Sierra Leone FA and Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo, former Ghana national team women's coach. He also hears the thoughts of two women prisoners.

The growth of women's football in Morocco has seen more girls taking up the sport. The evidence of this can be seen in how many young girls play the beautiful game in their neighbourhoods, in the streets. It's something which would not have happened 20 years ago. The success of women's football there has also been reflected in the packed stadiums and the rising number of people watching the women's national team- the Atlas Lionesses- on television. They are also the first North African and Arab squad to qualify for the Women's World Cup. So what's behind the growth in women's football in Morocco? In today's Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to 15 year old Imane on why she decided to play football, Atlas Lioness forward Rosella Ayane and Meskerem Tadesse Goshime, the Confederation of African Football's head of women's football.

Last month, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) awarded Nigeria victory in a forfeited 2025 Nations Cup qualifier against Libya, and fined Libya $50,000.It came after an investigation found that a plane carrying the Nigerian squad had been deliberately redirected to the wrong airport – where the Super Eagles were left for nearly 20 hours without food, water or internet access. The incident has yet again exposed the unorthodox – and unsporting - tactics which are often used against visiting teams in African football. So why has psychological and physical intimidation been allowed to continue?Presenter: Mpho LakajeGuests: Sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji, and Isha Johansen, former president of Sierra Leone Football Association, and a member of FIFA's council, and the CAF executive committee.
