The Super Falcons of Nigeria, Africa’s most decorated women’s football team, added another golden chapter to their legacy with a stunning 3–2 comeback win against hosts Morocco on Saturday, in a gripping Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) clash that doubled as a celebration of their 10th title.
Played before a vibrant crowd, the encounter was as dramatic as it was symbolic. The Moroccan side initially seized the momentum, forcing the Falcons to dig deep. But true to their name, the Nigerian women soared high, clawing their way back into the game with unrelenting determination.
The match was not only a display of technical finesse and tactical intelligence, but also a powerful reminder of why the Super Falcons remain a force in African football. Their triumph in Rabat is a reaffirmation of their dominance—winning a remarkable tenth WAFCON title.
Pictorials released by RootedScopeMedia captured the electric mood—players beaming with pride, draped in green and white, waving the Nigerian flag, and dancing with the joy of champions. The locker-room celebrations, pitchside jubilation, and medal presentation scenes all painted a story of resilience, unity, and national pride.
“This is not just a victory for the team; it is a victory for Nigerian women and the future of female football,” one of the players said after the final whistle. “We came, we saw, and we conquered—again.”
The win also reignites conversations around the need for stronger support and investment in women’s football in Nigeria. As the players return home, they do so not just as champions of the continent, but as icons of courage and inspiration.
