ABOUT COSAFA WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2024 COSAFA Women’s Championship, also known as the 2024 Hollywoodbets COSAFA Women’s Championship due to sponsorship, marks the twelfth edition of this annual international women’s football tournament.

Malawi enters the tournament as the defending champions, having secured their first title in the last edition.
