Nigeria’s Super Falcons wore a special jersey that had 10 stars around the national team’s badge during their international friendly against Tanzania.
The design caught fans’ attention during the match. ESPN Africa later explained that each of the 10 stars represents one of Nigeria’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) titles.
The Super Falcons are the most successful team in the history of the competition, having won a record 10 continental crowns since the tournament was established.
The symbolic design also reflects the Super Falcons’ ambition to continue building on that legacy as they chase an 11th WAFCON title in future editions of the tournament.
