The 2024 CAF Women's Olympic qualifying tournament (officially, the Women's Olympic Football Tournament Qualifiers) [2] was the sixth edition of the CAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international football competition organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to determine which women's national teams from Africa qualify for the Olympic football tournament.
On 24 February 2022, FIFA awarded CAF two slots for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in France. [3]
Fifty-three CAF members were eligible to enter qualifying, with Zimbabwe having been suspended since 24 February 2022, [4] though only 25 submitted entries. [1] The draw took place on 30 May 2023 in Cairo, Egypt. [5] Seven teams were awarded a bye to the second round of qualifying based upon their results in the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations. [6]

The teams being drawn into round 1 were divided into 4 pots based upon geographical considerations, with teams from pot 1 being drawn against teams from pot 2 and teams from pot 3 being drawn against teams from pot 4; an empty pot was used to randomize which team played at home first. One team each from pots 1 and 2 were drawn and placed into pot 5, where the first team drawn was designated to play the first leg at home and the second team drawn was designated to play the second leg at home. This process was repeated until pots 1 and 2 were empty, then the same process occurred with pots 3 and 4. [7]
Pot 1 (WAFU A) | Pot 2 (WAFU B) | Pot 3 (UNIFFAC) | Pot 4 (COSAFA & CECAFA) |

Four rounds of home-and-away matches determined the two CAF representatives to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in France. If the aggregate scores were tied at the end of the second leg, then 30 minutes of extra time were played. If the score was still level after extra time, then kicks from the penalty spot were used to determine the winner. The matches were played in the FIFA match windows in July and October 2023 and in February and April 2024. [1] [8]
