Super Falcons Captain Rasheedat Ajibade Voices Frustration Over WAFCON 2026 Preparations

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has publicly expressed her disappointment over the team’s preparations ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The tournament, set to be hosted by Morocco, was rescheduled by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) from March to July, giving teams extra time to prepare. However, Ajibade has criticized the lack of intensity and seriousness in Nigeria’s build-up to the finals.

The team’s initial preparatory match against Cape Verde was also called off after the visitors pulled out of the planned international friendly, adding to the captain’s concerns.

“We are just preparing for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, we are also fighting for World Cup qualification…so why are we not preparing with the seriousness and intensity this demands…abeg wetin be all this one, for how long?” Ajibade wrote on Instagram
