Super Falcons' WAFCON Prep Hampered by NFF Issues

The Super Falcons, Nigeria's women's national football team, face significant challenges as they prepare for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), primarily due to ongoing conflicts with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). Team captain Rasheedat Ajibade expressed her frustration on social media, emphasizing the need for serious and intensive preparation, especially since the WAFCON will determine their qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

Ajibade's outburst highlights a history of neglect from the NFF, which has been criticized for its lack of support and proper training facilities for the team. Victor Oluwafemi, a senior social media manager at Sporti TV, echoed these sentiments, pointing out that the NFF's incompetence could lead to the Super Falcons missing their chance to secure a record 10th tournament appearance.

The article underscores the urgency for the NFF to address these issues to ensure the team's success.
