Super Falcons Captain, Onome Ebi

Nigeria Super Falcons take on South Africa in a Group C matchup that is sure to be an exciting game in the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON), a rematch of the 2018 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final.

This serves as the preliminary final for many people. It truly is a battle of the titans. In September of last year, in Lagos, the Aisha Buhari Invitational final featured the two most competitive teams. Banyana Banyana defeated the Super Falcons 4-2 to win the first trophy.

The outcome left the continental giants with a bad taste in their mouths, and now they are out for vengeance.
