The Super Falcons are just one win away from making Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) history — but you wouldn’t know it from their calm and confident demeanor. Despite the high stakes, the Nigerian players are brushing off any talk of last-minute nerves as they set their sights on lifting the trophy once again.
After a hard-fought semifinal victory over defending champions South Africa, Nigeria now faces tournament hosts Morocco in the final in Rabat this weekend. A win would secure their 10th WAFCON title and mark their return to continental glory for the first time since 2018.
