The Super Falcons of Nigeria are gearing up to defend their title in the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, less than a year after securing their tenth championship. The anticipation builds as several key players, including Ajibade and Oshoala, improve their performance leading up to this crucial tournament. After a long injury layoff, Ajibade has recently returned to competitive play and has made notable contributions to her team, although she has yet to score in the current season.

In an exciting development, Ajibade's talents have been recognized globally, as she has been selected to be part of the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) Women’s Africa XI. Her inclusion alongside teammates like goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and defenders Michelle Alozie and Ashleigh Plumptre reflects the strength of the current squad as they prepare for WAFCON. This recognition highlights the skill level present in the team and boosts their confidence heading into the tournament.

Oshoala, another prominent figure in the Super Falcons squad, continues to make headlines in Saudi Arabia, showcasing her ability and influence in international women’s football. As the Super Falcons approach the WAFCON, the performance and health of these key players will significantly impact their chances of retaining the title. The anticipation around their games in Morocco builds as fans are eager to see if they can extend their record to eleven titles.
