The 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations will be the fifth edition of the West African regional football tournament, set to be staged in Ghana from the 9th to the 24th of September, featuring only locally-based players.
This year’s tournament will see 16 teams from West Africa compete for the trophy, with a first round of knockout matches set-to-be followed by a group stage (two pools of four teams each), semifinals, third-place playoff and a final.
This will also be the first tournament staged as part of a 12-year partnership between Fox Sports and the West African Football Union.
