Nigeria beat Ghana 2-0 in this year's final after their most closely
contested championship yet when they ended up second in the Group Rounds
having registered their first ever loss in the history of the tournament
(1-0 to Ghana).
Both teams represented Africa in the 2003 Women's World Cup held in China.
The African Women's Championship (aka the African Women's Nation Cup)
has been won by Nigeria on each occasion since its inauguration in 1998
and is awarded the trophy for good with a new trophy designed for the
next tournament.
Nigeria (as host) were given a bye to this year's finals and were joined by the 7
winners of the second round.
