📺 Nigeria TV Info – July 27, 2025
In a breathtaking final on Saturday night, Nigeria staged a sensational comeback from two goals down to defeat hosts Morocco 3-2 and clinch their 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title—extending their record as the most dominant force in African women's football. The thrilling encounter took place at Rabat's Stade Olympique, where Morocco had taken a shocking early lead through goals by captain Ghizlane Chebbak and winger Sanaâ Mssoudy within the first 30 minutes.
But the resilient Super Falcons were far from done. Esther Okoronkwo and Folashade Ijamilusi sparked the revival with two second-half goals that leveled the match. The game reached its dramatic peak in the 88th minute when substitute Jennifer Echegini struck the decisive winner, sending Nigerian fans into wild celebration and silencing the home crowd.
With this victory, Nigeria not only cemented their legacy as Africa's most successful women's team but also walked away with $1 million in prize money, twice the amount awarded in the previous edition. They also became the first team to lift the redesigned WAFCON trophy. Morocco, who were aiming to join Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and South Africa as continental champions, fell just short despite a valiant performance.
