The Super Falcons of Nigeria will kick off their campaign for a record-extending tenth Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title this evening against Tunisia at the Stade Larbi Zaouli in Casablanca.

After a disappointing semi-final exit in 2022, Nigeria arrives in Morocco with renewed determination to reclaim their status as Africa’s dominant force.

Under the theme ‘Mission X’, the Falcons are eyeing a strong start to set the tone for what they hope will be another historic run.

Dangote AD

Led by captain Rasheedat Ajibade, the team boasts a blend of seasoned stars like Asisat Oshoala and Chiamaka Nnadozie, alongside exciting young talents ready to make their mark on the continental stage.

Opponents Tunisia may be underdogs on paper, but the North Africans are not to be overlooked.

Audience Feedback Survey

Having shown steady improvement in recent years, they’ll be eager to spoil Nigeria’s opening-night plans.
