Nigeria's Super Falcons will begin the defence of their Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in Morocco this month, with history once again within touching distance. The 14th edition of Africa's premier women's football tournament will see 16 nations compete not only for continental glory but also for qualification to the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
Justin Madugu's side arrive as defending champions after producing one of the greatest comebacks in WAFCON history, recovering from two goals down to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the 2025 final and claim a record-extending 10th continental crown. Now, the Super Falcons are chasing an unprecedented 11th title.
