Why Egypt women have seven stars on their badge despite never winning WAFCON
Egypt’s women’s national football team has attracted attention at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) for wearing seven stars above its badge despite never winning the continental tournament.
Egypt won the AFCON titles in 1957, 1959, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2008 and 2010, establishing themselves as Africa’s most successful men’s national team.
