Head coach of the Moroccan women’s national team, Jorge Vilda, has fired a strong warning ahead of their WAFCON 2024 final clash with Nigeria’s Super Falcons — and the tension is already building!
The highly anticipated final takes place this Saturday, and Vilda has made it clear: Morocco wants to lift the trophy on home soil — by all means necessary.
“We are here to make history,” the Spanish-born coach declared during a pre-match press conference. “We are playing in front of our home fans, and our players are full of desire and enthusiasm. They want this more than ever.”
Omo, this is going to hot! Nigeria, on the other hand, are chasing their 10th continental title — a new world record in women’s football if they win it. The Super Falcons are no strangers to pressure, and their 2-1 victory over defending champions South Africa in the semi-final proved they’re in no mood to joke.
Morocco edged past Ghana in a penalty shootout to reach the final, and now the stage is set for a true battle of queens.
Despite praising Nigeria’s strength and experience, Vilda is confident in his side’s mental firepower.
“They [Nigeria] have physically strong players and quality individuals with international experience,” he noted. “But this is a final. We are ready, and we’re not backing down.”
The question now is — will Morocco write history, or will Nigeria extend theirs?
