WAFCON Final Showdown: Spain’s World Cup-Winning Coach Vows to Crush Nigeria’s 10th Title Dream
History is on the line as Morocco’s head coach Jorge Vilda—the mastermind behind Spain’s 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup victory—declares his Atlas Lionesses are mentally ready to deny Nigeria a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title.
Vilda, now aiming to deliver Morocco’s first-ever WAFCON crown, expressed unwavering confidence during a press briefing:
> “They are a psychologically strong team… we never give up. These players are champions in every sense.”
After falling short in the 2022 final, Morocco now returns hungrier, sharper, and backed by a home crowd at Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah, Rabat. But standing tall in their path is a red-hot Nigerian Super Falcons side, who’ve netted 11 goals and conceded only once all tournament.
Powered by stars like Rasheedat Ajibade, Esther Okoronkwo, and Toni Payne, Nigeria is determined to defend their legacy and reaffirm their place at the pinnacle of African women’s football.
A Moroccan victory would make Vilda the first coach in history to win both a Women’s World Cup and a WAFCON title.
All roads lead to Rabat this Saturday. It's Africa's biggest women's football battle yet.
