<p>Super Falcons midfielder&nbsp;<strong>Halimat Ayinde don talk am straight — Nigeria no dey come play this final, na to collect back our title!</strong></p>



<p>According to&nbsp;<em>CAFonline</em>, the 31-year-old Swedish-based baller said the squad is&nbsp;<strong>fully focused</strong>&nbsp;on reclaiming what they lost three years ago in this same Morocco.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Title Lost, A Title Wanted</h3>



<p>Let’s not forget — Nigeria lost their WAFCON dominance in&nbsp;<strong>2022</strong>, crashing out in the semi-final to Morocco via a&nbsp;<strong>5–4 penalty shootout</strong>&nbsp;after a dramatic 1–1 draw. Morocco went on to lose the final to South Africa.</p>



<p>But this time?&nbsp;<strong>Omo this is going to hot!</strong></p>



<p>Ayinde made it clear:&nbsp;<em>“This final is not going to be different. We are going to stick together as a team and fight for each other.”</em></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">All Eyes on Rabat</h3>



<p>The highly-anticipated final between Nigeria and Morocco goes down&nbsp;<strong>today at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat</strong>, and fans are already holding their breath.</p>



<p>Ayinde, who plies her trade at&nbsp;<strong>Rosengård in Sweden</strong>, added that the Super Falcons are hungry — not just for victory, but for&nbsp;<strong>redemption.</strong></p>



<p>And knowing the Falcons&#8217; legacy?&nbsp;<strong>This match no be child’s play.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>All roads lead to Rabat!</strong>&nbsp;The&nbsp;<strong>2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON)</strong>&nbsp;has come down to one final, explosive battle —&nbsp;<strong>Nigeria vs Morocco</strong>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<strong>Saturday, July 26</strong>, under the lights of&nbsp;<strong>Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium</strong>.</p>



<p>This isn’t just a game. It’s a&nbsp;<strong>grudge match</strong>, a&nbsp;<strong>dream chase</strong>, and a shot at&nbsp;<strong>history</strong>&nbsp;for both sides.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rematch Reloaded: Morocco Back for Vengeance</h3>



<p>Let’s not forget —&nbsp;<strong>Morocco edged Nigeria in the 2022 semi-final</strong>&nbsp;on penalties. That game sent shockwaves across Africa. It wasn’t just about victory, it was about&nbsp;<strong>a new era knocking at the door</strong>.</p>



<p>Since then, Morocco has levelled up big time. With a&nbsp;<strong>Women’s Football Strategy</strong>&nbsp;launched in 2020, the&nbsp;<strong>Atlas Lionesses</strong>have gone from underdogs to serious contenders.</p>



<p>Their journey to this final? Full of fire:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>2–2 vs Zambia (twice came from behind)</li>



<li>4–2 vs DR Congo (Chebbak hat trick)</li>



<li>1–0 vs Senegal</li>



<li>3–1 vs Mali in the quarters</li>



<li>And that <strong>nail-biting 4–2 penalty win</strong> over Ghana in the semis</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Omo, they’ve been grinding!</strong>&nbsp;But with&nbsp;<strong>six goals conceded</strong>&nbsp;in five matches, Morocco’s defence still dey shake small.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nigeria: Where Pressure Meets Pedigree</h3>



<p>Nine finals. Nine wins.&nbsp;<strong>No one touches Nigeria when it comes to WAFCON history.</strong></p>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Super Falcons</strong>&nbsp;didn’t just cruise to the final — they&nbsp;<em>owned it</em>:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>3–0 vs Tunisia</li>



<li>1–0 vs Botswana</li>



<li>0–0 vs Algeria</li>



<li>5–0 demolition of Zambia</li>



<li>2–1 tactical masterclass vs South Africa</li>
</ul>



<p>Only&nbsp;<strong>one goal conceded</strong>&nbsp;— and it came from a penalty.</p>



<p><strong>Omo this defence be like concrete wall.</strong>&nbsp;Alozie, Ohale, Demehin, and Plumptre have locked it down, while&nbsp;<strong>Chiamaka Nnadozie</strong>&nbsp;has been&nbsp;<em>almost too good to be true</em>&nbsp;between the sticks.</p>



<p>On the other end, Nigeria’s attack has depth for days:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>11 goals from 8 different players</strong></li>



<li><strong>Esther Okoronkwo</strong> leads the assist chart</li>



<li><strong>Ajibade</strong> running things like a boss</li>



<li>And yes, <strong>Oshoala</strong> may not have played much, but she’s still a <strong>trump card waiting to strike</strong></li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Two Dreams, One Crown</h3>



<p>Morocco wants to prove that 2022 wasn’t luck. They want to win&nbsp;<strong>their first WAFCON title</strong>&nbsp;in front of their fans. It would be the crowning moment of a national project that started from scratch.</p>



<p>Nigeria? They’ve been here before.&nbsp;<strong>Nine times.</strong>&nbsp;They’re not just chasing a 10th title — they’re trying to&nbsp;<strong>seal a dynasty</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Coach Madugu</strong>&nbsp;has made it clear — this team isn’t just about big names; it’s about smart football. Every game, every tactic, every switch has been calculated.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Final Word</h3>



<p><strong>Omo this final no be small thing!</strong>&nbsp;Morocco has the momentum, the fans, and the hunger. But Nigeria has the pedigree, the experience, and the badge of&nbsp;<strong>undefeated champions</strong>.</p>



<p>It’s not just about lifting a trophy. It’s about&nbsp;<strong>writing history</strong>.</p>



<p>Will Morocco rise on home soil? Or will the&nbsp;<strong>Super Falcons fly higher once again?</strong></p>



<p><strong>Saturday night will decide it all.</strong></p>

<p>When it comes to women’s football in Africa,&nbsp;<strong>one name stands tall</strong>&nbsp;— Nigeria’s&nbsp;<strong>Super Falcons</strong>. With&nbsp;<em>nine WAFCON titles</em>&nbsp;already locked in and another final clash with&nbsp;<strong>host nation Morocco</strong>&nbsp;loading, the girls in green are knocking on the door of greatness again.</p>



<p><strong>Omo! This one fit enter history book o.</strong>&nbsp;But before we dive into Saturday night’s drama, let’s take a quick rewind to five WAFCON finals that sealed Nigeria’s status as true queens of the continent.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1998 — Nigeria 2-0 Ghana (Ijebu Ode, Nigeria)</h3>



<p>Home soil, packed crowd, and full vibes. The Falcons made a statement in&nbsp;<strong>Ijebu Ode</strong>, shutting out rivals Ghana with goals from&nbsp;<strong>Nkiru Okosieme</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Stella Mbachu</strong>. That win didn’t just bring a trophy — it stamped Nigeria’s authority in African women’s football.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2000 — Nigeria 2-0 South Africa (Johannesburg, South Africa)</h3>



<p><strong>Omo this one sweet die.</strong>&nbsp;Winning is sweet, but winning&nbsp;<em>in your rival’s backyard</em>? Different feeling. Against Banyana Banyana in front of a South African crowd,&nbsp;<strong>Stella Mbachu</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Olaitan Yusuf</strong>&nbsp;kept it cool and quieted the stadium with two classic strikes. It was Nigeria’s second WAFCON crown — and the first away from home.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2004 — Nigeria 5-0 Cameroon (South Africa)</h3>



<p>This one na demolition. In one of their most dominant performances ever, Nigeria&nbsp;<em>dismantled</em>&nbsp;Cameroon in the 2004 final.&nbsp;<strong>Perpetua Nkwocha</strong>&nbsp;went crazy, bagging four goals — yes,&nbsp;<em>four</em>&nbsp;— while&nbsp;<strong>Vera Okolo</strong>&nbsp;added the cherry on top. A proper masterclass.</p>



<p><strong>Omo! Cameroon no recover till today.</strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2010 — Nigeria 4-2 Equatorial Guinea (South Africa)</h3>



<p>This final had everything — drama, goals, and redemption. Nigeria faced the&nbsp;<strong>defending champs</strong>&nbsp;and still came out on top. It was the&nbsp;<strong>first time the Falcons ever conceded in a final</strong>, but goals from&nbsp;<strong>Nkwocha</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Oparanozie</strong>, and two own goals got the job done. A chaotic but sweet victory in Daveyton.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2018 — Nigeria 0-0 South Africa (4-3 pens, Accra, Ghana)</h3>



<p><strong>Omo this one na heart attack special.</strong>&nbsp;After 120 minutes of goalless football, the Falcons edged Banyana Banyana in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.&nbsp;<strong>Tochukwu Oluehi</strong>&nbsp;was the hero with the decisive save. That win sealed Nigeria’s&nbsp;<strong>ninth</strong>title and gave sweet revenge for an earlier loss in the group stage.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legacy of Dominance</h3>



<p>From Ijebu Ode to Accra, the&nbsp;<strong>Super Falcons have never lost a WAFCON final</strong>&nbsp;— and that’s not small talk. Whether at home or away, whether against giants or dark horses, they’ve stood tall every time.</p>



<p>As they gear up to face Morocco this weekend, fans are hoping&nbsp;<strong>2024</strong>&nbsp;joins this legendary list. And if history is anything to go by —&nbsp;<strong>omo, Nigeria no dey joke with finals.</strong></p>

<p>Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has sparked major buzz online after she sent a heartfelt message to the Super Falcons ahead of their high-stakes showdown against Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in the&nbsp;<strong>2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Omo, this one go hot o!</strong></p>



<p>The much-anticipated final is going down today at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, and Nigeria’s Super Falcons are just&nbsp;<em>90 minutes away</em>&nbsp;from possibly lifting their&nbsp;<strong>10th WAFCON title</strong>&nbsp;— a record-setting achievement that could shake the continent!</p>



<p>In a short video message shared via the Super Falcons’ official X (formerly Twitter) account, the First Lady didn’t hold back in showering the team with praise and powerful words of encouragement.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“My beautiful and lovely Super Falcons, I congratulate you and the officials for qualifying for the final,” she said.</p>



<p>“Your team spirit, determination, and professionalism have been outstanding. You are shining examples to girls in Nigeria and across Africa.</p>



<p>As you step out for the final match, I pray God crowns your efforts with victory. Make us proud. Nigerians and I are waiting to receive you with the trophy in your hands.”</p>
</blockquote>



<p><strong>Omo, if these girls carry this trophy ehn&#8230; e go loud!</strong></p>



<p>According to reports, the Super Falcons have had a solid run — winning against Tunisia and Botswana, drawing against Algeria, thrashing Zambia 5-0 in the quarter-finals, and knocking out Banyana Banyana of South Africa 2-1 in the semis.</p>



<p>So far, they&#8217;ve scored&nbsp;<strong>11 goals and conceded just once</strong>&nbsp;— talk about champions&#8217; form!</p>



<p>All eyes are on Rabat tonight. Will the Super Falcons deliver?</p>
