Nigerian pride just hit new heights! The Super Falcons clinched their historic 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title with a sensational 3–2 comeback win over host nation Morocco in the final at Rabat’s Olympic Stadium.
Morocco looked dominant early. Captain Ghizlane Chebbak opened with a stunning strike in the 13th minute, and Sanaâ Mssoudy doubled the lead in the 24th minute. The home crowd went wild—dreaming of the nation’s first-ever WAFCON trophy.
But Nigeria? They refused to blink. At halftime, coach Justine Madugu lit a fire under the players. The second half belonged to the Super Falcons. Esther Okoronkwo hauled us back into the game with a cool penalty in the 64th minute. Then Folashade Ijamilusi netted the equalizer in the 71st. And to seal it: with Morocco gasping, Jennifer Echegini delivered the match-winner in the 88th minute. Absolute magic.
It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. Despite trailing by two, Nigeria flipped the script with discipline, grit, and unshakable belief. Their tenth continental crown cements their status as the greatest women’s team in African football history. Meanwhile Morocco, on home soil, came heartbreakingly close—but fell short in the final stretch.
The drama of redemption, brilliant goals, and one last punch sealed the night. Final whistle blew, and Rabat fell silent. Then erupted with utter disbelief. Nigerian fans around the world erupted too—socials flooded, flags waved, horns blared.
This is more than sport—it’s “Mission X” delivered: reclaiming glory and reinforcing Naija’s legacy at the top. A historic comeback, a legacy extended, and a whole continent watching in awe.
Super Falcons, una too strong!
