@Completesports, abeg stop confusing and misinforming the public. It doesn’t appear anybody verifies or edits your stories against some quality gates before releasing to press.
FYI/A,
There has been 11 WAFCON editions (2020 edition was cancelled due to covid). Super Falcons has won 9 of those 11 editions and Equitorial Guinea won the two other editions.

Officially Nigeria had won 11 titles and not 9, The Women world Cup qualifiers in 1991 and 1995 which Falcons won and were African sole representatives were recorded as titles because Trophies were awarded, Though the Awcon tournament started in 1998, We have already won 2 title before or became a tournament.
