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.
