Football at the 2003 All-Africa Games – Women's tournament

The 2003 All-Africa Games was the first edition to play a women's football tournament. It was played by players under the age of 23. No qualifying took part, but teams were invited.[1] Nigeria and Ghana were seeded and put in different groups.[2] Ghana then withdraw on short notice and were to be replaced by Nigeria's A national team, but that was withdrawn later too, due to lack of funding from the Nigerian FA.[3] Congo-Kinshasa then took part at a last minute replacement.

Nigeria won the final against South Africa.[4][5]
