Rabat, Morocco – The stage is set for a thrilling climax to the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) as perennial champions Nigeria face unbeaten hosts Morocco in the final. The highly anticipated match, which could signal a shift in power dynamics in African women’s football, promises an enthralling encounter at a sold-out Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

Match Details:

  • Teams: Nigeria vs Morocco
  • Date: Saturday, July 26, 2025
  • Kick-off Time: 8:00 PM local time (19:00 GMT)
  • Venue: Olympic Stadium, Rabat, Morocco
  • Capacity: 21,000 spectators (expected to be a sell-out)

The Finalists and Their Journey:

Nigeria: The Super Falcons’ “Mission X” for a 10th Title

The dominant force in WAFCON history, Nigeria’s Super Falcons are vying for an unprecedented 10th continental title. Their path to the final has been a mix of convincing victories and gritty triumphs:

  • Group Stage: Defeated Tunisia (3-0), secured a late winner against Botswana, and drew with Algeria (0-0).
  • Knockout Stage: Hammered Zambia (5-0) in a dominant quarterfinal performance, followed by a hard-fought 2-1 victory over reigning champions South Africa in the semifinals.

Nigeria’s campaign is squarely focused on “Mission X” – achieving double-digit WAFCON titles.

Morocco: Unbeaten Hosts Eyeing First Crown

Morocco, the tournament hosts, have enjoyed an exceptional and unbeaten run, reinforcing their growing stature in African football. They are aiming for their historic first WAFCON title:

  • Group Stage: Opened with a 2-2 draw against Zambia, followed by wins against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (4-2) and Senegal (1-0) to top Group A.
  • Knockout Stage: Defeated Mali (3-1) in the quarterfinals and showcased their resilience by overcoming Ghana in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in the semifinal.

Key Players to Watch:

  • Ghizlane Chebbak (Morocco): The influential captain and 2022 player of the tournament has been in scintillating form, leading her team with four goals in WAFCON 2025. Her leadership and scoring prowess will be vital for Morocco.
  • Nouhaila Benzina (Morocco): A solid presence in defense, Benzina’s contributions have been crucial to Morocco’s unbeaten run.
  • Chinwendu Ihezuo (Nigeria): A key attacking threat for Nigeria, Ihezuo has netted three goals in the tournament and will be looking to add to her tally in the final.
  • Other Top Scorers in the Tournament (prior to final): Nguenar Ndiaye (Senegal) with four goals, and Ibtissam Jraidi (Morocco), Barbra Banda (Zambia), and Racheal Kundananji (Zambia) with three goals each, highlighting the attacking talent on display.

Significance of the Final:

This final holds immense significance beyond just the trophy:

  • Power Shift: With Morocco hosting its second consecutive WAFCON final (having also hosted in 2022), this match is seen as a potential moment for a power shift in the women’s game, solidifying Morocco’s position as a rising footballing force on the continent.
  • Increased Prize Money: The tournament boasts an increased prize pool, with the total prize money rising by 45 percent to $3.475 million. The winners of the final will receive a substantial $1 million, highlighting the growing investment in women’s football in Africa.

The 2025 WAFCON final promises to be a captivating contest between two of Africa’s strongest women’s football nations, with history on the line for both sides.
