Nigeria’s Super Falcons have set the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations ablaze with a string of commanding performances that have left fans and pundits alike buzzing. From the opening whistle of their first group match, the Falcons have made their title ambitions crystal clear. Their opening 3–0 victory over Tunisia was a statement of intent—Asisat Oshoala led the charge, Rinsola Babajide dazzled on debut, and Chinwendu Ihezuo sealed it late to kick off “Mission X” in perfect fashion.
Momentum continued to build in their second group clash against a resilient Botswana side. Despite facing a tight defense, the Falcons stayed composed and eventually broke the deadlock through a late strike from Ihezuo. With back-to-back wins and zero goals conceded, Nigeria’s dominance was beginning to take shape. A goalless draw in their final group match against Algeria didn’t dampen their spirit, as they still topped Group B with seven points and remained unbeaten.
Then came the quarter-finals—and the Super Falcons unleashed a footballing masterclass against Zambia. From the second minute, when Osinachi Ohale’s header found the back of the net, the match belonged entirely to Nigeria. The team’s fluid movement, precision passing, and ruthless finishing saw them cruise to a 5–0 win, sending a strong message to their rivals: the queens of African football are back and hungry for more.
Led by coach Justine Madugu, this squad blends experience and raw talent like never before. Rasheedat Ajibade commands the midfield with vision and pace, Ohale anchors the backline with authority, and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie continues to shine as a fortress in goal. As the tournament advances, the Super Falcons remain fearless, focused, and firmly on course for their record-extending 10th WAFCON title. One thing is certain—Nigeria’s wings are spread, and they’re soaring toward greatness.
