==Sponsorship==
In July 2016, [[Total S.A.|Total]] has secured an eight-year sponsorship package from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to support 10 of its principal competitions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.africanews.com/2016/07/21/total-to-sponsor-caf-competitions-for-the-next-eight-years/|title=Total to sponsor CAF competitions for the next eight years|last=AfricaNews|date=2017-04-18|website=Africanews|access-date=2017-04-18}}</ref> Due to this sponsorship, the 2018 Women's Africa Cup of Nations is named "2018 Total Women's Africa Cup of Nations".

==Host selection==
There were no other associations bidding to host the event other than Ghana.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.modernghana.com/sports/722924/ghana-to-host-2018-africa-womens-cup-of-nations.html | title=Ghana to host 2018 Africa Women's Cup of Nations | publisher=modernghana.com | date=28 September 2016 | access-date=11 January 2017}}</ref> Ghana was de facto awarded the hosting rights on 27 September 2016 and officially in mid December.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ghanafa.org/news/full_news/5/11865 | title=GFA receives official mandate to host 2018 Women AFCON | publisher=ghanafa.org | date=12 December 2016 | access-date=11 January 2017 | archive-date=13 January 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113010452/http://www.ghanafa.org/news/full_news/5/11865 | url-status=dead }}</ref> It is the first time they hosted the women's event.

Following media reports in mid-2018 that Ghana may be stripped of the hosting rights, this topic was discussed at the meeting of the Organising Committee for Women's Football on 12 September, and a final decision not to replace Ghana as host was taken by the CAF Executive Committee at its meeting on 27–28 September, though the Secretariat would continue to closely monitor preparations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=JC8EH9iN9Pw%2bxLFIy4bLzg%3d%3d|title=Statement on Total Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Ghana 2018|publisher=CAF|date=27 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=uLxLJ117lJ7E68bnx%2fVQWg%3d%3d|title=Decisions of CAF Executive {{sic|nolink=y|Comm|itee}} - 27 & 28 September 2018|publisher=CAF|date=29 September 2018}}</ref>

== Mascot==
The mascot for the 11th Edition of Total Women's African Cup of Nations is called Agrohemaa and it is represented by an eagle. The reason why the eagle is used for the tournament is because of its courage, strength, focus and immortality.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ghanasoccernet.com/agrohemaa-the-eagle-unveiled-as-mascot-for-2018-africa-womens-cup-of-nations|title='Agrohemaa' the Eagle unveiled as mascot for 2018 Africa Women's Cup of Nations|publisher=ghanasoccernet.com|date=28 September 2018}}</ref>

==Qualification==
