The Nigerian female football team, Super Falcons, has won the 2023 Confederation of African Football award for the National Team of the Year. 

The year’s award came off the back of an impressive showing at the World Cup earlier in the year.

The Falcons were knocked out of the competition in the round of 16 at the hands of England after losing on penalty shootouts.

Before the defeat, the Super Falcons did not lose a match in their three group games. They drew Olympic champions Canada, shock co-hosts Australia, and settled for a point against the Republic of Ireland.
