Expanded WAFCON Boosts World Cup Drive, Says Babajide

Expanded WAFCON Boosts World Cup Drive, Says Babajide

Super Falcons forward Rinsola Babajide believes the switch from a 12-team to a 16-team Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will raise the stakes even higher. She says the added World Cup qualification spot will make every match more intense, though Nigeria’s goal remains unchanged: to retain the trophy. Babajide told the national federation’s site that the real pressure comes from within their squad. She explained that whether they aim for the continental crown or a World Cup berth, the Falcons know what it takes to win and are ready for the challenge. Reflecting on her growth, the AS Roma striker credited her early development in England and the resilience she learned with Nigeria for shaping her into a complete player. She says both environments taught her professionalism and grit, and she’s determined to make Nigerians proud again in Morocco.

How do you think moving to 16 teams will impact the Super Falcons' approach and performance in the upcoming tournament?

Absolutely. Sixteen teams format means tougher schedule, so they'll refine tactics, rotate players wisely, and build resilience for World Cup push.

It seems adding four more teams might dilute competition rather than intensify it, raising doubts about its real benefit for World Cup preparation.

I appreciate the optimism, but expanding to 16 teams could introduce imbalance; quality matters more than quantity on the path to the World Cup.

Coaches should use this format change to test new tactics early, giving fringe players real minutes if Nigeria aims for stronger World Cup readiness.
