The 2024 COSAFA Women's Championship was the twelfth edition of the COSAFA Women's Championship, also known as the 2024 Hollywoodbets COSAFA Women's Championship for sponsorship purposes, the annual international women's association football championship contested by the women's national teams of Southern Africa and organised by COSAFA. The tournament took place in Gqeberha, South Africa from 22 October to 2 November 2024. [1] The opening match was won by Eswatini for the second consecutive year, defeating debutant Seychelles 6–0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, achieving their biggest win to date. [2]

Malawi were the defending champions, having claimed their first title in the previous edition. [3] However, their attempt to defend the title fell short in the semi-finals when they were eliminated by the eventual champions Zambia, [4] who went on to clinch their second title after defeating host South Africa in the final 4–3 on penalties following a scoreless draw. [5] [6] Zambian players Ochumba Lubandji and Fridah Mukoma co-jointly won the Golden Boot scoring four goals each throughout the tournament. South Africa's Isabella Ludwig was voted the tournament's best player, winning the Golden Ball, whilst Ludwig's teammate Jessica Williams won the Golden Glove, awarded to the best-performing goalkeeper of the tournament.

Of the fourteen participating teams, Seychelles made their tournament debut, with them and Mauritius scoring their first-ever goals in the competition against South Africa and Madagascar, respectively. [7] [8] Comoros achieved their first win in the tournament after defeating Angola in the group stage. [9]

Format

The competition format was unveiled at the official draw ceremony held in October 2024. The tournament began with a group stage featuring four groups (two groups of four teams and two groups of three teams). The top team from each group progressed to the semifinals. The winners of the semifinals advanced to the final, while, for the first time since 2020, no third-place match was held. [10]
