6 Days to Go Until the Women's AFCON: Perpetua Nkwocha, the Queen of Johannesburg
Published: Sunday, 29 June 2025 The countdown is on for the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2024. With just six days to go, we look back at one of the most iconic moments in the tournament's history: Perpetua Nkwocha's four-goal performance in the 2004 final against Cameroon (5-0), held in South Africa. Only 6 days before the Women's Africa Cup of Nations kicks off On October 3, 2004, in Johannesburg, African women's football witnessed a defining moment. In the final of the Women's AFCON, Perpetua Nkwocha delivered a sensational performance, scoring four goals against the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon. That day, the Nigerian star didn't just shine — she ruled. That South African tournament came amid Nigeria's already well-established dominance — the Super Falcons were three-time African champions heading into the edition. But 2004 marked a turning point: the coming of age of a generation led by a player like no other. Fast, accurate, and always in the right place, Nkwocha soared through the tournament, delivering standout performances. In the final, against an ambitious Cameroonian side, she imposed her will. She opened the scoring early, calmly added a second, and went on to complete her haul with two more goals. On her own, she dismantled the opposing defence and led the Super Falcons to their fourth continental title. With this historic four-goal haul, Perpetua Nkwocha became the first — and still the only — player to score four goals in a Women's AFCON final. A remarkable achievement that remains etched in the annals of African football. And there's more. Across the tournament, she finished as top scorer with nine goals in five matches. Her impact was so great that she was rightly crowned CAF African Women's Player of the Year in 2004. She would go on to win the award again in 2005, 2010, and 2011 — further cementing her legendary status. Twenty years later, her four-goal performance is still a benchmark. It embodies the excellence, clinical finishing, and leadership of an African football icon. As the focus now shifts to Morocco for the 2024 edition, Nkwocha's legacy reminds every player of what greatness demands: talent, of course, but also courage, consistency, and a sharp sense of timing. With just 6 days to go, Nkwocha's memory continues to inspire. The 2024 Women's AFCON promises to be the stage for a new generation of stars. Who will be the next to leave their mark on history?

Empowering her - Egyptian Football
The participants, one from each African football association, attended because they are already leaders - in their clubs, associations, communities and within the wider football ecosystem. The aim of the African Football Confederation (CAF) is to support these women in deepening their leadership journey, sharpening their skills and strengthening their voice in the game they all love. The programme, which was inaugurated by CAF General-Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba, was built around five key objectives: empowering women in leadership roles which helps them recognise and harness their unique strengths while navigating and overcoming challenges of leading in a traditionally male-dominated industry; developing leadership skills which provides women with practical tools and insights into effective leadership, and decision making, communications and conflict resolution, enabling women to lead with confidence and influence. Third is enhancing personal and professional growth which encourages women to reflect on their leadership journey, set goals and cultivate a growth mindset to continuously evolve both personally and professionally. Fourth, fostering a strong leadership network, building a community where women in football leadership can connect, share experiences and support one another long after the program ends. Lastly, creating actionable leadership plans, which helps equipping women with strategic, practical leadership development plans they can implement within their organisations, communities and federations. The three-day programme also included the following topics: 'The Story of Self' where participants get to understanding their selves, who they are, what they stand for and how to lead; 'The Story of US' where participants understand others; how to connect, collaborate and get the best out of others and 'The Story of Now' which included action planning and putting it into practice. The programme presented how self-awareness is the foundation for effective leadership which will support participants to identify and leverage their strengths, identify their areas for development and understand how this impacts their leadership style. Leaders who are self-aware can build stronger relationships, make better decisions and create positive working environments for their team. The programme also focused on values, which are personal to the participant leaders; they are their principles or standards of behaviour. Values can support them in leadership when it comes to decision-making or how they behave as a leader. The participants also learned that understanding what motivates them is a key part of the journey of self-discovery as a leader. * A version of this article appears in print in the 26 June, 2025 edition of Al-Ahram Weekly Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
