In a night that will echo through African football history, Nigeria’s Super Falcons once again proved they are the queens of the continent, claiming a dramatic 3-2 victory over host nation Morocco to clinch their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title.

The electric final, staged on July 26, 2025, at Rabat’s iconic Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, saw tension and tempo in equal measure. With the scoreline balanced deep into the second half, it was Jennifer Echegini who etched her name in gold — burying Esther Okoronkwo’s whipped free-kick in the 88th minute to complete a stunning comeback and silence the home crowd.

This wasn’t just a trophy lift — it was history, legacy, and a financial landmark. Nigeria walked away with a record $1 million prize, double the reward from the last tournament, thanks to CAF’s increased investment in the women’s game.

CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe emphasized the moment as a turning point in African women’s football, stating the boost is designed to ensure women players, coaches, and staff are recognized and rewarded on a bigger scale.

For the Super Falcons, it wasn’t just another trophy — it was a million-dollar message: they reign supreme, and they’re just getting started.
