The Nigeria's female stars staged an extraordinary second-half comeback to record the victory.
In front of home fans, Morocco got off to a dream start at the Stade Olympique in Rabat on the Saturday night.
Things got even better for the Atlas Lionesses in the 24th minute when Sanaâ Mssoudy doubled Morocco’s lead.

A slick pass from Ibtissam Jraidi found Mssoudy in space, and the forward made no mistake with a composed finish into the bottom right corner. The Super Falcons appeared stunned and went into the break trailing by two goals.
The comeback began just after the hour mark when a VAR review handed Nigeria a lifeline. A handball by Nouhaila Benzina resulted in a penalty, which was coolly dispatched by Esther Okoronkwo to make it 2-1.
In the 71st minute, Okoronkwo turned provider, slipping a neat ball into the path of Folashade Ijamulusi, who drilled a left-footed effort into the bottom corner to bring Nigeria level.
Despite the late pressure, the Super Falcons held firm through a tense final few minutes of stoppage time to clinch a 10th title in 13 editions of the WAFCON tournament.
It's noteworthy that Nigeria’s Nnadozie and captain Rasheedat Ajibade were named Goalkeeper and Player of the tournament, respectively.
