The CAN for Senior Women’s Handball is one of the most prestigious competitions in the world of African women’s handball.

Holding this event in the Democratic Republic of Congo demonstrates the country’s willingness to encourage the development of women’s handball and promote sports at the national and continental levels.
Organizing the CAN for Senior Women’s Handball represents a major logistical and organizational challenge for the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, the Congolese government and the Congolese Handball Federation are determined to meet this challenge and offer a high-level competition to players, spectators, and viewers.
The Congolese authorities will work closely with the CAHB to ensure the safety of participating teams, officials, and spectators throughout the competition. Specific measures will be put in place to ensure the smooth running of the event and prevent any incidents.
Holding the CAN for Senior Women’s Handball in Kinshasa is also a unique opportunity to promote tourism and boost the local economy. The influx of visitors and participants will help energize the tourism sector and generate positive economic impacts for the city of Kinshasa and its surroundings.
Preparations for the CAN for Senior Women’s Handball are already underway. The Congolese authorities will work in collaboration with the CAHB to finalize logistical details, such as team accommodation, setting up sports facilities, and organizing the opening and closing ceremonies.
