The Super Falcons have unveiled a new jersey adorned with 10 stars around the team badge as they prepare to defend their title at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The redesigned kit was revealed on Thursday, with each of the 10 stars representing one of Nigeria’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations triumphs. The addition celebrates the team’s dominance on the continent, having won the tournament more times than any other African nation.
Nigeria debuted the commemorative jersey in a 2-1 international friendly victory over Tanzania’s Twiga Stars on Thursday. The win provided a confidence boost for the squad ahead of the continental championship.
The new design reflects the Super Falcons’ rich history and sustained success in African women’s football. The stars surrounding the national badge serve as a reminder of the team’s legacy and its ambition to add another title to its collection.
Under head coach Justin Madugu, the Super Falcons are targeting an unprecedented 11th WAFCON title. The tournament begins on Saturday in Morocco, with Nigeria set to open its title defence against first-time participants Malawi
The Group stage encounter will take place on Tuesday at the Al Madina Stadium in Rabat. A victory would give the nine-time champions a strong start in their quest to retain the continental crown and further strengthen their record as Africa’s most successful women’s national team.
The unveiling of the special jersey has generated excitement among fans, who see it as a fitting tribute to the team’s remarkable achievements over the years. The Super Falcons will now hope the symbolic kit inspires another successful campaign as they pursue more history on the African stage.
