CAF Awards: Super Falcons named Women’s Team of the Year

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have been crowned the Women’s Team of the Year at the 2025 Confederation of African Football Awards ceremony held on Wednesday night in Rabat, Morocco.

The nine-time World Cup participants and record 10-time African champions earned the continental honour following their outstanding performance at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), where they lifted the trophy in Morocco.

Their dominant run in the competition significantly boosted their chances and ultimately secured their place at the top of the nominees’ list.

The Falcons beat strong contenders, Ghana’s Black Queens and Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses — to clinch the award, reaffirming their long-standing reputation as Africa’s most successful women’s national team.

This latest recognition adds to the team’s growing list of achievements and underscores their consistency, resilience and influence in shaping women’s football on the continent.

It also reflects CAF’s acknowledgment of their sustained excellence, both on and off the pitch, in recent years.

The Super Falcons, who remain one of Nigeria’s most decorated national teams, continue to strengthen their legacy as a powerhouse in African football, with their success inspiring a new generation of female players across the region.
