The stage is set. The drums of history are beating louder as Nigeria’s Super Falcons prepare to lock horns with the roaring Lionesses of Morocco in the 2024 WAFCON Final, set for Saturday, July 26 in Rabat. 🌍⚽
This isn’t just a final. It’s a battle of legacy vs ambition.
Nigeria, with 11 WAFCON titles, has long dominated women’s football in Africa. Legends like Asisat Oshoala, Perpetua Nkwocha, and Desire Oparanozie have all danced on this grand stage, scoring iconic goals and leading with fire in their hearts. 🇳🇬🔥
But Morocco is no stranger to the spotlight anymore. After a breathtaking run to the WAFCON 2022 final, where they narrowly lost to South Africa, the Atlas Lionesses are back with vengeance and vision. Spearheaded by rising stars like Ghizlane Chebbak and Fatima Tagnaout, Morocco is not just here to compete they’re here to conquer. 🦁🇲🇦
This tournament has seen brilliant flashes from all corners of the continent:
South Africa’s Thembi Kgatlana, known for her pace and sharp finishes.
Zambia’s Barbra Banda, with her goal-scoring flair.
And rising Nigerian star Gift Monday, already making waves with her critical goals and assists this season.
Goals have rained, emotions have flared, and records have tumbled. And now… only one crown remains.
⚽ Who will rise? Who will reign? Stay tuned as two of Africa’s finest collide for continental glory.
