The Super Falcons of Nigeria, record holders of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with nine titles, have been drawn in Group B for the 2025 edition. This group features Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana, promising an exciting showdown. The tournament, set to begin in July 2025, aims to bring Africa’s best women’s football talents to the forefront.
