Nigeria faces Morocco in WAFCON final for record 10th title

The 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final features an intense clash between Nigeria and host nation Morocco at Rabat's Olympic Stadium. Nigeria, known as the Super Falcons, are undefeated in the tournament and aim to secure a record-extending 10th continental title, a quest dubbed 'Mission X.' They have shown strong defensive resilience, conceding only one goal, and key players like Rasheedat Ajibade and Chinwendu Ihezuo have been instrumental in their success. Morocco, the Atlas Lionesses, are seeking their first-ever WAFCON trophy, fueled by home support and star scorer Ghizlane Chebbak, who is contending for the tournament's top scorer alongside Nigeria's Ihezuo. Both teams faced tough semi-final matches, with Morocco overcoming Ghana on penalties and Nigeria edging out defending champions South Africa in stoppage time. The final promises a tactical battle between Nigeria's experience and Morocco's ambition, with $1 million prize money and a new trophy at stake.
