Super Falcons debut 10-star jersey for WAFCON 2026 defence in Morocco

The Super Falcons of Nigeria unveiled a new jersey featuring ten stars during a 2-1 friendly win over Tanzania's Twiga Stars on Thursday night. Each star represents the team's record ten Women's Africa Cup of Nations titles, underscoring their status as the most successful side in WAFCON history. Coach Justine Madugu's side will wear the kit when they open their title defence at the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco, facing debutants Scorchers of Malawi at Al Madina Stadium in Rabat on Tuesday. The tournament kicks off on Saturday, and Nigeria is aiming for a record-extending eleventh continental crown.

The jersey launch is more than symbolism; it signals the Falcons' intent to dominate a tournament where they have historically excelled. Morocco's hosting adds a home-advantage factor for the hosts, while Malawi's debutante Scorchers could pose a stiff opening challenge. With the Super Falcons' pedigree, the question is whether the new kit and momentum from the friendly win will translate into another continental triumph, or if emerging rivals will finally break Nigeria's stranglehold on the competition.

Will the ten-star jersey inspire the Falcons to secure an historic eleventh WAFCON title, or will tough competition from debutants and hosts test their dominance?
