Meanwhile, the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations, which was scheduled for later this year, has been cancelled.
CAF also took the decision to postpone the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to 2022 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Due to challenging conditions, the 2020 edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations has been cancelled,” a statement from CAF said.
“Meanwhile, the Caf Women’s Champions League will be launched in 2021. The format and other details will be communicated in due course,” it added.
