The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) has unveiled a new trophy for the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2024.

This new design is a powerful symbol of the rise and recognition of women’s football across the African continent.

Drawing direct inspiration from the iconic Men’s TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations trophy, the new design represents more than just silverware; it’s a celebration of equality, unity, and excellence. The launch of the new trophy is part of CAF leadership’s goal to develop and grow women’s football in Africa, aiming to make it among the best in the world.

The new trophy was celebrated on Wednesday night at an event hosted by CAF and long-term partner, TotalEnergies, in Casablanca, Morocco.

A Design Rooted in Symbolism and Purpose

The trophy’s striking design features identical petals spiraling upward, with each one representing a participating national team. Together, they form the shape of a blooming flower, a timeless symbol of growth, empowerment, and beauty. This imagery captures the journey of African women’s football and the vibrant strength of its athletes.

Emerging from the heart of this elegant floral form is a golden sphere, subtly patterned as a football. Adorned with a shiny gold map of Africa, the sphere reflects the continent’s ambition, pride, and global impact in the women’s game.

Crafted in brilliant silver and matte gold, the body of the trophy is wrapped in a gold ring engraved with the CAF logo, affirming the confederation’s steadfast commitment to elevating the women’s game across all 54 member associations. The base, a pristine white marble pedestal with elegant gold-accented stripes, bears the name of the competition in refined matte gold lettering, cementing the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations legacy within the rich tapestry of African sport.

A New Era for Women’s Football in Africa

As the next generation of African stars prepare to shine at the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2024, this new trophy will serve as a beacon of aspiration, inspiring millions of young girls across the continent to dream, to believe, and to achieve on the global stage.
