> The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final is set for tonight in Rabat, with Malawi taking on Cameroon in a historic meeting. Sports journalist Charlotte Richardson said women’s sport is attracting more attention, but still faces lasting shortfalls in media coverage, funding and infrastructure compared with men’s competitions. She also said the tournament’s last-minute postponement earlier this year would be unthinkable in men’s football.
