Super Falcons Snatch 10th WAFCON Crown in 3-2 Thriller Against Morocco
Rabat, July 26, 2025 – In a heart-pounding Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final, Nigeria’s Super Falcons clawed their way to a historic 10th title, edging out hosts Morocco 3-2 in a match that had 21,000 fans at Stade Olympique on the edge of their seats. The Super Falcons, trailing 2-0 by halftime, staged a comeback for the ages, fueled by Rasheedat Ajibade’s dazzling footwork and a jaw-dropping 25-yard screamer from Deborah Abiodun in the 68th minute. Rinsola Babajide sealed the win with a clinical finish in the 82nd minute, sprinting to the stands to drape herself in Nigeria’s green-and-white flag as the crowd roared.
Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses, led by the talismanic Ghizlane Chebbak, dominated early with two quick-fire goals from Fatima Tagnaout and a stunning free-kick by Yasmine Mrabet. But Nigeria’s goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie turned the tide with three crucial saves, including a fingertip deflection off a Chebbak rocket. Tensions flared when a controversial VAR call disallowed a late Moroccan equalizer for offside, sparking heated protests from the home bench. Despite the loss, Morocco’s spirited performance cemented their status as a rising force. Nigeria’s triumph, under interim coach Justine Madugu, silenced doubters and reaffirmed their unchallenged reign over African women’s football.
