Overview

• Nigeria's Super Falcons staged a 3-2 comeback to defeat Morocco in Rabat, claiming a record-extending 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations crown.
• D'Tigress followed days later with a 78-64 victory over Mali in Abidjan, securing a fifth straight AfroBasket title along with a seventh continental crown.
• The consecutive triumphs made Nigeria the first African country to hold continental crowns in women's football alongside those in women's basketball.
• Coach Rena Wakama became the first woman to coach an AfroBasket champion, then repeat the feat with consecutive titles.
• Athletes continue to face chronic late or unpaid match bonuses, risking blacklisting if they speak out, which has fueled calls for structural reforms.
