Super Falcons

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have touched down in Casablanca, Morocco, ahead of the 13th edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), where they aim to clinch a record-extending 10th continental crown.

The Nigerian delegation, comprising 22 players and officials, arrived in Morocco’s commercial capital on Wednesday night from Lisbon, Portugal, where they held the Portuguese national team to a goalless draw in a keenly contested friendly at the Estádio José Gomes.

Boosting the squad in Casablanca were China-based forward Folashade Ijamilusi and USA-based Asisat Oshoala, who linked up with the team directly from their respective bases.

The nine-time African champions displayed grit and discipline in their friendly outing against Portugal, with goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defender Shukurat Oladipo, and veteran forward Francisca Ordega putting in standout performances that offer a glimpse of what to expect at the tournament.

The Super Falcons will begin their WAFCON 2024 campaign against Tunisia on Sunday, July 6, at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca. Subsequent group fixtures will see them face Botswana and Algeria as they look to maintain their proud record of always reaching at least the semi-finals since the competition’s inception in 1998.

Nigeria has previously lifted the trophy in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2016, and 2018, and reached the last four in 2008, 2012, and 2022.
