Super Falcons' Ajibade Admits Subpar Performance in Draw Against Benin

Rasheedat Ajibade, a player for the Super Falcons, admitted the team's below-par display in a 1-1 draw against Benin Republic, emphasizing the need for improvement despite securing qualification for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations. The Nigerian side, led by players like Ashleigh Plumptre and Esther Okoronkwo, took an early lead in Abeokuta but conceded an equalizer to Yasminath Djibril.

The result ensured Nigeria's progress with a 3-1 aggregate win over Benin, setting sights on the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco and the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
