As Nigeria's jubilant players have fun on the pitch where they recovered from a 2-0 deficit, it's time to bring the curtain down on our coverage of an absorbing, extravagantly dramatic final.

They're 10-time winners now, but the Super Falcons were pushed all the way by Morocco, who were less than 20 minutes of regular time away from winning the tournament for the first time.

You can read Rob Stevens' report here, and head to the BBC Sport Africa homepage for reaction and all the news ahead of the 2026 tournament, which takes place in March next year.

The trophy goes up, the confetti flies!

Nigeria are the Wafcon 2024 champions!

Rasheedat Ajibade is primed for the trophy lift, winner's medal around her neck.

Morocco are up to receive their runners-up medals after becoming the first country to lose successive Wafcon finals.

The manner in which they did so must make it even more painful, but should provide some consolation in time.

They scored twice as many goals against Nigeria as the rest of the champions' opponents here put together.

Jorge Vilda and his squad pose for an obligatory podium photo but it's a glum scene after another fine campaign.

Nigeria skipper Rasheedat Ajibade succeeds Ghizlane Chebbak as the winner of the player of the tournament award.

Ghizlane Chebbak claims the top scorer trophy, with five goals - including that memorable opener in the final.

Nigeria goalkeeper and Brighton newcomer Chiamaka Nnadozie is out to receive the Golden Glove from the assembled dignitaries.

Junaid: Clash of the giants. A thrilling Wafcon final.

Emeka Ulor: Breathtaking, dramatic, emotional and boomastic!

Tears on the Morocco bench. Hugs and dancing around the centre circle for Nigeria.

The new-look Wafcon trophy is being brought out, although the usual ceremonials mean it will be a while until the winners get their hands on it.

Morocco icon Ghizlane Chebbak is consoled as she makes her way off.

The forward struck a wonderful 13th-minute opener and must have thought her side were on course for victory when Sanaa Mssoudy doubled the advantage 11 minutes later as part of a serene first half for the Atlas Lionesses.

Nigeria came out on the attack and, eventually, turned the game around - via that late overturned handball decision that would have given Chebbak a chance to make it 3-2 to her side with minutes remaining.

What a comeback.

This stadium is emptying out quicker than I'd imagined at half-time.

Nigeria head over to that small pocket of loyal supports in celebration.

Esther Okoronkwo is named as player of the match and it's no surprise after her incredible role in that comeback.

She ends the tournament with two goals and six assists.

There is a four-minute countdown to the presentation. There won't be many left to watch it.

Nigeria's small band of fans rejoice wildly. Their players drop to the turf, then return to their feet to begin the party.

Morocco and the home nation fans are stunned after a cruel defeat.

It's a record-extending 10th continental title for the team who have dominated this competition.

Mission X is accomplished - Nigeria are the Wafcon champions with a sensational comeback!

The Super Falcons were firmly on track to lose a Wafcon final for the first time after a whimper of a first-half display, deservedly going in 2-0 behind.

Three goals inside 22 minutes seal an astounding end to these finals - the last coming two minutes from time from Jennifer Echegini, who had been on the pitch for less than 30 minutes.

Nigeria are doing the attacking.

Deborah Abiodun thunders a long-range shot just wide.

Nigeria's Michelle Alozie and Esther Okoronkwo make way for Sikiratu Isah and Shukurat Oladipo.

The starters are asked to leave the field more quickly. Nigeria are closing in on glory - but Morocco want to change the course of history.

Six minutes of added time.

Morocco were 2-0 ahead in the 63rd minute. They'll be desperate to add an even later twist to this astonishing final.

Morocco 2-2 Nigeria

Morocco goalkeeper Khadija Errmichi comes out to punch a cross and connects with the unfortunate Ashleigh Plumptre, who was challenging for Nigeria and takes a substantial whack.

Both are OK after initially going to ground.

Oluwatosin Demehin clenched her fists and dropped to her knees in relief after that initial penalty call was overturned.

Imagine how she must have felt. Morocco, now, are the ones reeling, having spurned a two-goal lead and thought they'd have a chance to go ahead again from the spot with full time looming.

The question is likely to be about how much chance Oluwatosin Demehin of avoiding the ball hitting her right hand at such close quarters to the flick on.

No penalty!
