Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to make a bold statement at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, rolling out a brand-new kit adorned with 10 stars.
Each of the stars stitched onto the jersey stands for one of the team’s continental triumphs, a tally that keeps the Falcons out in front as the most decorated side in the history of the competition.
The design also carries a historic weight, as Nigeria become the first African national team, male or female, to sport such a commemorative shirt.
The champions gave fans a first look at the new colours during a 2-1 friendly win over Tanzania in the build-up to the tournament.
Randy Waldrum’s successors have been drawn into Group C, where they will lock horns with Malawi, Zambia and Egypt as they chase more silverware.
Nigeria kick off the defence of their crown on Tuesday against the tournament newcomers, hoping to lay down an early marker.
Beyond the pursuit of an unprecedented 11th WAFCON title, the Falcons are also targeting qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
