The Digest:
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has criticised the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over the lack of preparation for the upcoming WAFCON tournament, following Cape Verde's withdrawal from proposed friendlies. In a leaked conversation, Ajibade said: "Camp opens on April 11, and we, the players, have no idea where the venue is." She added that bloggers posted information before the team's official social media pages. The tournament offers a World Cup spot for the final four teams.
Key Points:
- The WAFCON tournament was postponed from March to mid-2026.
- Nigeria's women's team is the defending African champion.
- Failure to qualify for the World Cup would be devastating for Nigerian football.
- Ajibade has previously said, "African women's football deserves better."
- The NFF's incompetence has affected both senior and youth teams.
