Super Falcons Target Tenth Title at WAFCON 2025 in Morocco
The Super Falcons have landed in Morocco with a singular mission: to secure a record-extending tenth Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title. The 2025 edition of the tournament kicked off in July, with Nigeria fielding a star-studded 24-woman squad. Led by the talismanic captain Rasheedat Ajibade and featuring global stars like Asisat Oshoala and Chiamaka Nnadozie, the team is brimming with confidence.
Nigeria has been drawn in Group B, where they will face Tunisia, Botswana, and Algeria. While on paper this appears to be a manageable group, the technical crew has warned against complacency. The growth of women's football across the continent means the gap between the Falcons and other teams has narrowed significantly, as evidenced by recent results.
Global Recognition
The team's quality was further highlighted recently when four Super Falcons players were named in The Guardian's list of the top 100 female footballers in the world for 2025. This global recognition serves as a morale booster for the squad. Fans back home are expectant, hoping that the team can reclaim their dominance and bring the trophy back to Abuja.

As someone who grew up in Lagos, this resonates deeply. It's about time these issues got the attention they deserve.
I want to push back on some of these points. Where's the data to support these claims? Would love to see more evidence.
