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?

Speaking ahead of the blockbuster clash, the Swedish tactician — whose Ghanaian side fell 3-1 to Nigeria in a pre-tournament friendly — didn’t mince words when it came to his prediction.

“I think it’s going to be an interesting game. Both teams are a little different, but I think there is more quality in Nigeria,” he said.

Omo this is going to hot! Coming from a direct rival, this is a strong vote of confidence for Coach Justine Madugu’s girls.

Let’s not forget, Nigeria remains the most successful team in WAFCON history, with nine titles already in the bag — and they’re now just 90 minutes away from clinching a historic 10th.

With some of the best talents on the continent in their squad, the Super Falcons are heading into the final with both confidence and pedigree.

Will Morocco pull a surprise on home soil, or will Nigeria show them say this crown na our birthright?

Fingers crossed — kickoff go settle am.
