Nigeria has indicated interest to host the 2020 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations after Congo Brazzaville pulled out. Guinea and Equatorial Guinea are the other countries equally interested.
This was disclosed by the President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Ahmad Ahmad, on French radio station RFI.
“We’ve formally written to CAF about the interest to host the event. We are working on the bidding documents and we should get it over to CAF soon,” NFF Spokesperson Ademola Olajire said.
“This is the home of women’s football and the leading football nation in the continent.
“I believe it’s the right time to do it again. We’ve done it before and we believe it will be like bringing it home again,” he said
Nigeria have won the Cup nine times and are the current holders after upstaging South Africa in penalties won in 2018 in Ghana.
