Rasheedat Ajibade, the captain of the Super Falcons, has encouraged her squad to move past their recent loss to Cameroon, as noted by DAILY POST. Following their failure to defeat the Indomitable Lionesses in the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, the team missed the chance for a direct entry into the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Coach Justine Madugu’s team now faces a secondary path to the 2027 tournament via the inter-confederation playoffs. To reach this stage, Nigeria must overcome South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in an upcoming play-in match. Ajibade emphasized the significance of this fixture for the squad.
Regarding the team’s mindset, Ajibade stated that they must move forward and focus on the future. She acknowledged that reaching the World Cup is a major priority for Nigeria, assuring fans that the team will give their full effort. The match is scheduled for 9pm tonight at the Moulay Rachid Stadium in Casablanca.
