Nigeria Wins Record 10th WAFCON Title Beating Morocco 3-2

News summary

Nigeria's Super Falcons staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Morocco 3-2 in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations final, securing their record-extending 10th title. Morocco led 2-0 at halftime with goals from Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanaa Mssoudy, but Nigeria's Esther Okoronkwo sparked the revival by scoring a penalty, assisting Folashade Ijamilusi's equalizer, and setting up Jennifer Echegini's decisive 88th-minute winner. Nigeria's goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie won the Golden Glove, while Chebbak earned the top scorer award and Morocco’s captain was named player of the tournament. The Super Falcons received $1 million in prize money and lifted the new-look trophy in front of a largely emptied stadium. Morocco, coached by Jorge Vilda, suffered their second consecutive final loss on home soil despite strong performances throughout the tournament. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu praised the team for their determination and spirit in overcoming a passionate Moroccan crowd.
