Nigeria and Morocco face off in the 13th CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final with history on the line for both nations.

The stage is set for a historic showdown as Morocco and Nigeria clash this Saturday at 9 p.m. local time in the final of the 13th CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

The host nation is chasing its first-ever continental title, while Nigeria is eyeing a record-extending 10th championship.

Morocco’s rise has been one of the standout stories of the tournament, with Head Coach Jorge Vilda leading the Atlas Lionesses to a second consecutive final. The Super Falcons, under the guidance of Coach Justin Madugu, bring decades of experience and a rich legacy to the pitch, making this one of the most anticipated finals in WAFCON history.

The 21,000-seat Olympic Stadium is expected to be packed with home supporters hoping to see Morocco lift the trophy for the first time.

“This stadium is more than a pitch, it’s an arena where our dreams can come to life,” said Head Coach of Morocco, Jorge Vilda.
Head Coach of Nigeria, Justin Madugu said, “We know the stakes and the intensity of the Moroccan crowd. But our players know how to handle finals.”

Morocco has impressed with disciplined tactical play and star performers such as captain Ghizlane Chebbak and striker Ibtissam Jraidi. For the hosts, victory would symbolize the coming of age of women’s football in the kingdom, spurred by strong federation backing and upgraded infrastructure.

Nigeria, already the continent’s most decorated women’s team, is determined to defend its legacy. With a balance of youthful flair and veteran poise, the Super Falcons remain a formidable force.
“Our players are motivated and ready to give their all,” said Madugu, confident in his squad’s experience.

Beyond the title, Saturday’s final represents a defining moment for African women’s football. A Moroccan win could signal a power shift, while a Nigerian victory would reaffirm supremacy. Either way, the Olympic Stadium is set to host a passionate and high-stakes encounter.
