The 2006 Women's African Football Championship was originally scheduled to be held in Gabon, but due to "organisational reasons" Gabon withdrew from hosting the competition.[1] Nigeria took over hosting rights,[2] hosted the final tournament between October 28 and November 11,[3] and won the tournament after defeating Ghana 1–0 in the final. South Africa's Portia Modise was named Player of the Championship.

The finals will take place in Warri at Warri Township Stadium. There will be two groups, A and B, with a semi-finals and finals.

[edit] Group A

Equatorial Guinea arrived at Murtala Mohammed Airport in a private chartered plane, which did not have clearance to land. The players were not allowed to disembark for three hours, and despite organising officials trying to remedy the situation, the Equatorial Guinea players apparently left for home, unhappy with the treatment they received by airport officials.[4] However, their first match went ahead on time.
