By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde
Former Super Falcons striker Stella Mbachu has expressed strong confidence in Nigeria’s chances at the upcoming 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), tipping the team to lift their record-extending 10th continental title in Morocco.
Mbachu, a veteran of multiple WAFCON tournaments, praised the current squad’s quality, depth, and recent performances as clear indicators of their readiness to dominate the competition.
“The Super Falcons will win every game at the WAFCON. They will not lose any game in the tournament—you will see. They will come home with the trophy,” Mbachu said in an interview with Brila FM.
The Super Falcons recently underlined their form with a convincing 3-1 victory over Ghana’s Black Queens in a friendly, following a resilient 0-0 draw against Portugal in Lisbon.
Nigeria, under head coach Justine Madugu, will compete in Group B alongside Tunisia, Botswana, and Algeria. The West Africans will begin their WAFCON 2024 campaign against Tunisia on Sunday in Casablanca.
Alongside Nigeria, other tournament favourites include defending champions South Africa, hosts Morocco, Zambia, and Ghana.
The Nigeria Football Federation and the Super Falcons’ fanbase are optimistic that the team will rise to the occasion and bring home yet another WAFCON title.
