Justine Madugu, the head coach of the Super Falcons, has reaffirmed his team’s commitment to qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup hosted by Brazil. He emphasized that successfully defending their title at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is a primary priority for the squad.
Nigeria prepares to meet Cameroon in a high-stakes quarter-final match scheduled for Sunday in Casablanca. Securing a victory in this contest ensures both a spot in the semi-finals and an automatic qualification for the upcoming World Cup.
Addressing the press on Saturday, Madugu noted that the team’s goals have remained consistent despite an early tournament loss to Malawi. He stressed that the players are focused on their dual mission of securing a World Cup berth and keeping the championship trophy. The match is set to take place at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium, starting at 6pm local Nigerian time.
