On 26 July 2025, Nigeria's Super Falcons won the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), beating hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final in Rabat. Morocco led 2-0 through goals from Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanaa Mssoudy. Esther Okoronkwo then scored a 64th-minute penalty, Folashade Ijamilusi equalised in the 71st minute and Jennifer Echegini scored the winner in the 88th. The win extended Nigeria's record to 10 titles from the 13 tournaments held between 1998 and 2024. The 2024 edition was delayed and played in July 2025. Cameroon won the next edition, in Morocco in August 2026, after knocking the Super Falcons out.
