Morocco vs Nigeria: everything you need to know about the Wafcon 2024 final

Flashscore.com has all the key details you need before the long -awaited Wafcon 2024 final between the Nigeria Super Falcons and the Lionesses Atlas of Morocco.

The spotlights are now moving to Rabat, where the grand finale of the African Nations Cup 2024 will see Nigeria and Morocco competing in a confrontation of ambition, pride and history.

While the two nations continue continental glory, their motivations differ. The Lionesses Atlas hosts are determined to claim their very first Wafcon title, motivated by a passionate crowd and an increasing belief. On the other hand, the Super Falcons have views of a 10th record championship, seeking to reaffirm their domination on African soil.

To reach the final, Justine Madugu’s team overcome the reigning champions in South Africa in a tense victory in the semi-final 2-1. Meanwhile, Morocco of Jorge Vilda needed steel nerves, bordering black queens of Ghana during penalties after a 1-1 draw which extended to 120 minutes of football.

For Nigeria, this final offers a chance to avenge. In the previous edition, they were eliminated by the North Africans in the semi-finals, losing 5-4 on penalties at the Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium-the same place welcoming this final.

If the nine failing champions, the tournament could not top a new winner for the fourth time in history. Since the creation of the competition in 1998, only Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and South Africa have lifted the trophy.
