## Morocco's Lionesses Roar for History Against Super Falcons

**Rabat to Host Epic WAFCON Final as Moroccan Team Seeks Maiden Title**

Morocco’s women’s national football team, the Atlas Lionesses, are set to battle nine-time champions Nigeria, the Super Falcons, in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final today at Rabat's Olympic Stadium.  This high-stakes clash promises a captivating display of skill and determination as both teams aim for continental glory. 

The Lionesses are chasing their first-ever WAFCON title, having finished runners-up on home soil in the 2022 tournament after a narrow 2-1 loss to South Africa. This marks their second appearance in the final, fueling hopes of rewriting Moroccan football history.

Revenge is on Nigeria's agenda.  Seeking a record-extending tenth title, they aim to overcome their 2022 semi-final defeat to Morocco (5-4 on penalties) and cement their dominance. Coach Justin Madugu’s squad topped their group with seven points, defeating Zambia 5-0 in the quarterfinals before edging past South Africa 2-1 in the semis.

Led by Spanish coach Jorge Vilda, who guided Spain to a Women's World Cup title, the Moroccan side arrives at the final undefeated. Their journey includes topping Group A with seven points (a draw against Zambia (2-2), wins over DR Congo (4-2) and Senegal (1-0)), followed by quarterfinal victory over Mali (3-1) and a dramatic semifinal win against Ghana (4-2 on penalties).

Vilda acknowledges the team's evolution since the 2022 tournament, calling their previous final appearance “a major breakthrough” that serves as a foundation for this year’s campaign. The Moroccan team’s recent trajectory, including a historic FIFA Women's World Cup appearance, solidifies their status as a rising continental force.
