Super Falcons Begin WAFCON Camp in Casablanca, Morocco

The Super Falcons have begun their final phase of preparation for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) at a training camp in Casablanca, Morocco. The team, which includes captain Rasheedat Ajibade and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozi, is composed of 25 players, including notable names such as Asisat Oshoala and Glory Ogbonna.

The training program, overseen by head coach Justin Madugu, aims to fine-tune tactics and improve team cohesion to ensure peak physical condition ahead of the tournament. Nigeria, a ten-time African champion, is set to defend their title, having defeated host Morocco 3-2 in the previous year's final.

The tournament is scheduled from July 26 to August 16, 2026, in Morocco, where Nigeria aims to extend their record to 11 titles. The Super Falcons will begin their group campaign against Malawi on July 28, followed by matches against Zambia on August 1 and Egypt on August 5.

Four semi-finalists will qualify automatically for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
