Nigeria’s Super Falcons launched their campaign for a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in emphatic fashion, securing a 3-0 victory over Tunisia in their Group B opener on Sunday, July 6
.
Goals from captain Asisat Oshoala, Rinsola Babajide, and substitute Chiwendu Ihezuo sealed the comprehensive win, which marked Nigeria’s first-ever WAFCON triumph over Tunisia. The two sides had previously met only once at the tournament—in a 2008 group stage clash that ended in a goalless draw.
With this result, the Super Falcons have made a strong statement of intent, reaffirming their status as tournament favourites. They will look to build on this momentum as the competition progresses.
