The Super Falcons of Nigeria have officially advanced to the finals of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) for the first time since 2018, reaffirming their dominance in African women’s football.
This marks the 12th time the Nigerian women’s national team has reached the final in the history of the tournament.
Since the inaugural edition in 1991, Nigeria has competed in all 15 tournaments—an unmatched record of consistency and excellence.
With 11 championship titles under their belt, the Super Falcons are the most successful team in WAFCON history.
They remain the only team to have never finished as runners-up, emphasizing their legacy of going all the way or not at all.
Apart from their 11 triumphs, Nigeria has only missed the final on three occasions—finishing third in 2008 and fourth in 2012 and 2022.
Remarkably, they have reached the semi-final stage in every edition of the tournament.
Their return to the final in the 2025 edition is seen as a resurgence after missing out on the title in 2022.
With their eyes firmly set on a 12th crown, the Super Falcons are poised to extend their legendary run as queens of African football.
The final now beckons, and the entire nation rallies behind the team as they aim to make history
once again.
