The 2014 African Women's Championship, the 11th edition of the tournament, was held in Namibia.[1] This tournament, organized by the Confederation of African Football, was also a qualification tournament for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, with top three qualifying for the finals in Canada. It was played on 11–25 October 2014.
The tournament marked the first participation of Namibia in the African championship. Also for the first time the defending champions, Equatorial Guinea, were not taking part after failing to win their last qualifying round match.[2]
Nigeria defeated Cameroon 2–0 in the final to win their ninth title.[3]
