What started as a heartbreaking deficit transformed into a breathtaking victory for Nigeria’s Super Falcons. Facing host nation Morocco at Stade Olympique, the Falcons erased a two-goal disadvantage to win a thrilling 3–2 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final, securing their record-breaking 10th championship.
Morocco looked poised for glory after Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanaâ Mssoudy’s first-half goals ignited the home crowd’s dreams of a maiden title. But the Super Falcons showcased their championship grit and resilient spirit.
Esther Okoronkwo sparked the turnaround by calmly converting a penalty, then set up Folashade Ijamilusi to level the score. In the dying moments, Okoronkwo’s precise set-piece found Jennifer Echegini, who smashed home the winner just two minutes before full time.
Under Coach Justin Madugu’s guidance, Nigeria demonstrated unshakable belief and composure, reaffirming their supremacy in African women’s football.
Kudos to the Super Falcons: 10-time champions and undisputed queens of African football.
