Nnadozie Urges Support as Nigeria Eyes AFCON Progress
Chiamaka Nnadozie, the goalkeeper for Nigeria's women's national football team, has called on fans to remain supportive after a challenging start to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Following a surprising 3-2 defeat to Malawi, where Nnadozie conceded three goals, she rebounded with a clean sheet in a crucial 1-0 victory over Zambia.
This match was particularly significant as Nigeria played with 10 players after Tosin Demehin received a straight red card in the 40th minute. The victory revived the Super Falcons' hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals.
Nnadozie, a three-time CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of The Year, expressed her commitment to making Nigerians proud and urged fans to support the team through their struggles. Currently, Nigeria has three points from two matches, needing a convincing win against Egypt to enhance their chances of progressing, while also relying on the outcome of the Malawi versus Zambia match.
