The Confederation of African Football unveiled on July 28, 2025, the Best XI of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, following the tournament held in Morocco. Nigeria, the tournament winner, and South Africa, a semifinalist, lead this selection of players honored for their consistent performances.

Nigeria, crowned African champion, and South Africa, semifinalist, share most of the spots in the 2024 Women's AFCON Team of the Tournament. Four Nigerian players and three South Africans make the cut. Morocco and Ghana round out the eleven with two representatives each.

Between the posts, Nigerian goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie claims the top spot after recording four clean sheets and conceding only three goals in six matches. The defense is anchored by South Africans Karabo Dhlamini and Bambanani Mbane, Ghanaian Portia Boakye, and Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie.

In midfield, CAF selected South Africa’s Refiloe Jane, Morocco’s Ghizlane Chebbak—the tournament’s top scorer with five goals—and Ghana’s Grace Asantewaa. Up front, Moroccan striker Ibtissam Jraidi leads the line, flanked by two Nigerians: Rashidat Ajibade and Esther Okoronkwo.
