Nigeria vs. Morocco: When and Where to Watch the 2024 WAFCON Final

The pinnacle of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations arrives as Nigeria’s Super Falcons take on host nation Morocco at the Stade Olympique in Rabat. On Saturday, July 26, 2025, the kick-off is set for 8 p.m. local time, and millions of fans across Africa will tune in to see if the continent’s most decorated side can lift a tenth trophy or if Morocco will make history by claiming their first.

Roads to the Final

Nigeria stamped their semi‑final ticket with a 2–1 victory over South Africa, showcasing clinical finishing and tight defending. The Super Falcons have conceded just one goal in five matches, a testament to the tactical discipline instilled by coach Justine Madugu.

Meanwhile, Morocco reached their maiden 2024 WAFCON final after a dramatic shoot‑out win against Ghana. After a 1–1 draw, the hosts held their nerve to prevail on penalties, fueled by an electric atmosphere at the official training ground–turned fan zone.

Nigeria’s Winning Formula

The Super Falcons arrive in Rabat with confidence born of past glories. They have never lost a WAFCON final, having captured nine titles since the tournament’s inception.

Captain Rasheedat Ajibade has led from the front, while forward Esther Okoronkwo delivers pace and power on the break. Behind them, a backline marshalled by veteran defenders has made scoring against Nigeria a rare feat.

Morocco’s Home‑Soil Surge

Under Spanish coach Jorge Vilda, Morocco has rediscovered an attacking spark, netting 11 goals so far, tied for the tournament’s highest tally. Stars Ghizlane Chebbak and Yasmin Mrabet have combined skill and experience to drive the team forward.

Yet their defense has shown vulnerability, conceding six goals, making this final a true test of whether they can balance flair with solidity.

A Storied Rivalry

Though this is Morocco’s first final, their recent encounters with Nigeria hint at fierce competition. The Super Falcons routed Morocco 8–0 in the 1998 title match and 6–0 in 2000.

However, in the 2022 semi‑final, Morocco stunned Nigeria by winning on penalties after a 1–1 draw—ending Nigeria’s nine-game unbeaten streak. With the overall tally at 2–1 in Nigeria’s favour, this final promises another chapter in a growing rivalry.

How to Watch

Fans across Africa can catch the action live on SuperSport via DStv, New World TV, and Morocco’s SNRT channels (Al Aoula & Arryadia). For those online, CAF TV’s YouTube channel and the FIFA+ platform will stream the match where available. Official tournament apps will also offer verified live streams and real‑time updates.

What’s at Stake

For the Super Falcons, a tenth WAFCON crown would cement their status as Africa’s women’s football powerhouse and send a clear signal ahead of Olympic qualifiers. For Morocco, lifting the trophy on home soil would mark a seismic shift in African women’s football, inspiring a new generation of players across North Africa.

As kickoff nears, both teams will focus on their game plans, but the real winners will be the fans witnessing what could be one of the most memorable finals in WAFCON history. Whichever side prevails, July 26 will go down as a landmark night for women’s football on the continent.
