We’re not under pressure – Nnadozie

Chiamaka Nnadozie, the Super Falcons' goalkeeper, asserts that the team is focused and unpressured as they prepare for friendly matches against Cameroon ahead of WAFCON 2026.

Chiamaka Nnadozie, a three-time CAF Goalkeeper of the Year, has expressed confidence in the Super Falcons as they prepare for friendly matches against Cameroon in Yaoundé. Despite being the reigning African champions, Nnadozie emphasized that the team is not feeling the pressure that often accompanies the title. Instead, she highlighted the positive atmosphere in the camp, indicating that the players are focused and ready for the upcoming challenges.

The fixtures against Cameroon are part of Nigeria's preparation for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) 2026, which will take place in Morocco. The Super Falcons, who have a rich history as ten-time champions, are approaching these matches with a strong track record against Cameroon, having previously secured victories in their last four encounters. Nnadozie remains cautious, however, acknowledging the competitive spirit of the Indomitable Lionesses, particularly when they are playing on home turf.

The optimism in the Nigerian camp, coupled with their previous successes against Cameroon, could bolster their confidence as they head into these friendlies. The matches will not only serve as a preparation for WAFCON but also as an opportunity for the Super Falcons to further solidify their team dynamics and readiness for the larger tournament ahead in Morocco. With their track record and determination, the Super Falcons aim to continue their legacy in African women's football.
