It was held in South Africa between 18 September and 3 October 2004.

Nigeria won its sixth title, after defeating Cameroon 5–0 in the final.

Qualification

Main article: 2004 African Women's Championship qualification

South Africa qualified automatically as hosts, while the remaining seven spots were determined by the qualifying rounds, which took place from May to July 2004. From this tournament onwards, the defending champions does not receive automatic qualification.

Format

Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).

The seven winners of the final round qualified for the final tournament.
