Super Falcons arrive Morocco for WAFCON 2026 battle
Defending champions, Nigeria’s Super Falcons, have arrived in Rabat, Morocco, ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), as they prepare to defend their continental crown.
The players arrived in high spirits, radiating confidence and excitement as they stepped off the team bus.
They were elegantly dressed in matching green-and-white African outfits, complemented by beautifully tied traditional headwraps.
The nine-time African champions had spent the previous 10 days in Casablanca, where they fine-tuned their preparations with intensive training sessions ahead of the tournament.
Justine Madugu’s side defeated the Twiga Stars of Malawi 2-1 in a friendly on Thursday night.
Nigeria will play all three group games in Rabat.
The Super Falcons will begin their title defence against debutants Scorchers of Malawi at the Al Madina Stadium, Rabat on Tuesday.
They will also face the Copper Queens of Zambia at the same ground, before rounding up their group -stage campaign against the Cleopatras of Egypt at the Olympic Stadium, Rabat.
