Nigeria's Super Falcons debuted a special commemorative jersey featuring 10 stars around the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) crest during their international friendly against Tanzania, celebrating the team's unparalleled success in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Each of the 10 stars represents one of Nigeria's WAFCON triumphs, recognizing the Super Falcons as the most successful team in the tournament's history. The redesigned crest pays tribute to decades of dominance, during which Nigeria has established itself as the benchmark for women's football on the African continent.

The historic jersey made its first appearance in the Super Falcons' final warm-up match ahead of the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco. Nigeria marked the occasion with a 2-1 victory over Tanzania, providing a timely confidence boost as the team prepares to pursue a record-extending 11th continental title.

Nigeria's WAFCON victories came in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2024. The remarkable achievement has cemented the Super Falcons' status as the competition's most decorated side, with no other African nation matching their record of continental success.

The unveiling of the 10-star jersey has been widely applauded by football supporters, who view the design as a fitting tribute to the team's sustained excellence and contribution to the growth of women's football in Africa. Beyond commemorating past achievements, the stars also symbolize the Super Falcons' ambition to continue their legacy as they set their sights on another WAFCON triumph in Morocco.
