Ajibade slams Super Falcons' inadequate WAFCON prep
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has publicly criticized the team's preparation for defending their WAFCON 2026 title, questioning why they're not approaching the tournament with 'seriousness and intensity.' The competition, hosted by Morocco, was moved from March to July by CAF. Nigeria's preparation has been disrupted after Cape Verde pulled out of scheduled friendlies next week, leaving NFF scrambling for a new opponent. The team had only played two friendlies against Cameroon during the February international window. WAFCON 2026 also serves as qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. The Super Falcons won a record-extending 10th title at the last edition. How should Nigeria approach preparation given this tournament is both title defense and World Cup qualification?
