Download Why has Nigeria dominated African women’s football?
In 2018 Nigeria were crowned champions of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the continent’s biggest football competition, for the ninth time. And they have only been to the tournament 11 times.
With the 12th edition getting underway in Morocco from July 2, after it was postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic, the defending champions start their quest for a tenth title.
Nigeria go into the tournament as firm favourites and the Super Falcons have proven themselves as the queens of women’s football on the continent.
On the eve of the first whistle of the tournament, Alan Kasujja kicks off with a burning question - why has Nigeria’s women football team dominated in Africa?
Host: Alan Kasujja
Guests: Janine Anthony, journalist and Jean Sseninde, former Ugandan women football player
