The Nigeria Super Falcons hoist the new CAF Women's AFCON trophy after defeating hosts Morocco 2-3 in the 2024 final.
A wonderful end to a great tournament, which was executed impeccably by host country Morocco. Don't sleep on the players & the leagues in which they play. African women's football is on the rise! #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Con una impresionante remontada, Nigeria venció 3-2 a Marruecos y se quedaron con el trofeo de la Copa Africana de Naciones Femenina 🔥
Chinwendu Ihezuo jugó 58’ y Osinachi Ohale disputó todo el encuentro.

The whistle blows & Nigeria celebrate a well-deserved comeback win to lift the new #CAF #WAFCON trophy! What resilience! Go Super Falcons! MOR 2-3 NGA #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The Nigerians really have the wind in their sails now as they continue to press for a 4th goal & earn a corner kick. There's just a minute left for the home side to try to tie it up. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Morocco sacrifices a defender for a striker as the board is raised to show 6 minutes of added time. Time for Nigeria to park the bus as they prepare 2 more subs to shore up their defense. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
And now the AFC Toronto striker has fashioned Nigeria's go-ahead goal from a wonderfully placed free kick, which is swept in first-time by substitute Echegini. Just 1 minute remains before the Super Falcons can claim their 10th title. MOR 2-3 NGA #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Okoronkwo is my vote for match MVP. Her latest free kick floats dangerously into the box, forcing the Morocco netminder to come out & punch the ball against an onrushing Plumtre's face. Both the Nigerian defender & Moroccan 'keeper go down in a heap. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Now it's Morocco's turn to shout for a spot-kick when the ball is kicked from close range against the hand of a Nigerian defender, whose hand was by her side. It takes a long time, but VAR helps the ref to reverse the call. MOR 2-2 NGA #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Such unselfish play from Okoronkwo as the striker draws the attention of the Moroccan defense before laying off the ball for an easy tap-in by Ijamilusi. Nigeria are level! MOR 2-2 NGA #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Esther Okoronkwo steps up to take the penalty & places a deft strike up the middle to pull a goal back for Nigeria. Game on! MOR 2-1 NGA #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The referee has awarded a goal kick to Morocco, even though the ball clearly went off the arm of a Moroccan defender. After a long pause, VAR steps in to award the penalty to Nigeria. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Papa Naija is beside himself with the state of the proceedings. "Did they eat?!"
He's relieved as the Nigerian camp finally makes its first 2 substitutions. Hopefully, the fresh legs will lift the team. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
There's a huge, blue suitcase on the Nigerian portion of the sideline. Don't tell me that they're getting ready to go home already! #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
As a former board-certified referee for the Canadian Soccer Association, I don't normally criticise referee decisions, but some of the ref's calls & lack of others in this match have left me wondering. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
Nine-time tournament winners Nigeria kick off the second half, winning a free kick almost immediately. Will the referee ever put her cards to use? This isn't the 1st time that a Nigerian player has been cut down by a Moroccan. Just a warning this time. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The halftime whistle sounds in Rabat with Morocco leading Nigeria 2-0. Something will have to change drastically in the 2nd half if the Super Falcons have any chance of lifting the trophy. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The stadium announcers are finally telling the crowd to stop shining lasers at the players. Let's see if that makes a difference at all. I doubt that it will.
Nope. AFC Toronto striker Esther Okoronkwo's face lights up in green on the next free kick. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
At this point, Nigeria is making it look all too easy for the hosts, having conceded their first two goals from open play in this tournament. Let's see if they can produce something from the corner kick.
No, Morocco's goalkeeper punches the ball away. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The Nigerians finally have a shot on goal, but the header is collected easily by the Moroccan 'keeper. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024

There's disarray at the back for Nigeria as Mssoudy glides into the box unmarked to score Morocco's 2nd goal. Time for the Super Falcons to wake up. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The fans in Rabat go wild as Morocco captain, #7 Chebak, tries her luck & beass Nnadozie at the near post to give the home team an early lead. MOR 1-0 NGA #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
The match officials need to do something about the home fans shining lasers at Nigeria and Paris FC goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, on corners and other set pieces. #MORNGA #CAF #WAFCON #TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024
