The Super Falcons have arrived in Rabat, Morocco, ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), making a memorable entrance as they gear up to defend their continental crown.
The Nigerian team travelled to Rabat after completing a successful 10-day training camp in Casablanca, where they fine-tuned preparations for the tournament. The players arrived in high spirits, with smiles all round as they boarded their team bus for their hotel.
For the first time, the Super Falcons wore custom-designed traditional departure outfits, making a bold statement before the competition. The squad was dressed in matching green-and-white tie-dye African gowns, complemented by neatly tied traditional headwraps, celebrating Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage while projecting unity and confidence.
The colourful appearance underscored the positive atmosphere in the camp and the renewed support surrounding the team as they prepare for another shot at continental glory.
Nigeria, the defending champions and Africa’s most successful women’s national team, will play all their Group C matches in Rabat. Their campaign begins against Malawi on Tuesday, 28 July, before facing Zambia and Egypt in the remaining group-stage fixtures.
The Super Falcons are chasing a record-extending 11th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title as they look to reaffirm their dominance on the African stage.
