The Super Falcons have done it again—and at this point, it’s starting to feel like tradition. Nigeria’s iconic women’s national team has officially been crowned the Women’s Team of the Year at the CAF Awards 2025, marking their third consecutive win and yet another reminder of who truly rules African women’s football.
This recognition came on the back of one of the team’s most dramatic and heroic performances in recent history. Their record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in 2025 capped off a year of absolute brilliance and unshakeable dominance.
In the WAFCON final, the Super Falcons gave fans a rollercoaster of emotions. Facing host nation Morocco, Nigeria found themselves trailing 2-0 at halftime—a moment that would break most teams.
But these aren’t “most teams.”
These are the Super Falcons.
With resilience that could power a small city, the Falcons roared back into the game to claim a 3-2 victory, flipping the script in sensational fashion and silencing a packed Moroccan crowd.
It was the type of final you remember for years.
The type of performance Champions League documentaries are made of.
And the type of moment CAF simply had to honour.
CAF announced the award on their official X account with a message that perfectly sums up the Falcons’ year:
“Records? Set. Awards? Won! Nigeria are the Women’s National Team of the Year #CAFAwards2025.”
This marks another milestone in the Falcons’ long history with this award.
The Super Falcons’ relationship with dominance is not new—it’s their brand.
They first won the CAF Women’s Team of the Year award in 2010, then again in 2014, 2016, and 2018, before beginning their current three-year streak from 2023 to 2025.
That’s not just success.
That’s sustained greatness.
In an era where African women’s football is growing more competitive, more tactical, and more star-studded than ever, the Super Falcons continue to stand tall as the gold standard.
Their teamwork, consistency, and championship DNA are unmatched on the continent.
This award means more than recognition.
It’s a statement to the entire sports market that Nigeria continues to lead the charge for women’s football in Africa.
Their 2025 campaign highlighted:
unity
resilience
tactical brilliance
and the kind of mental toughness that has become their signature
This is why the Super Falcons are not just champions—they’re icons.
The Super Falcons are not just winning—they’re setting the pace for women’s football across Africa. And as always, Sports Market International, the best sport blog for breaking stories and sports market insights, celebrates their greatness loudly.

Here’s to dominance.
