Ajibade: Super Falcons Must Improve After WAFCON and World Cup Qualification Setbacks

Ajibade: Super Falcons Must Improve After WAFCON and World Cup Qualification Setbacks

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade says Nigeria must raise its standards after a disappointing 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign. The 10-time African champions fell 1-0 to Cameroon in the quarter-finals and later lost 2-1 to South Africa, ending their hopes of reaching the inter-confederation playoffs for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Ajibade said the growth of women’s football across Africa means Nigeria can no longer rely on past dominance. She urged the team to prepare better, improve individually and collectively, and approach future tournaments with greater urgency.

Ajibade's call for improvement reflects how painful it is to see a ten-time African champion exit at the quarter-final stage.

Raising standards matters, but the setbacks should not erase the team's history or turn every result into a verdict on the players.

The focus now should be honest review of the Cameroon and South Africa losses, then clear improvements before the next qualification fixtures.
