It's a youth tournament. The pedigree of the senior team of those countries don't usually count. Results are usually not easily predictable
well...I hope so. The falconets should prepare and play enough friendlies especially against European opposition. I just want them to do well.

2022 AWCON: Glory Ogbonna Urge Team Not To Underate Group Opponents

Ahead of the 2022 African Women Cup of Nations, Nigeria's Super Falcons defender Glory Ogbonna has urged the team not to underrate the group opponents, Apart from South Africa in group C with Nigeria, both Burundi and Botswana are debutants in the competition which make bookmakers tagged them as underdog.


While analyzing the AWCON draw, Ogbonna, who plays for Segunda División Pro team, Santa Teresa CD, stated that there are no more minnows in African football.

“Well, it is a draw just like other groups as well though people are saying it is an easy group, yeah I can agree with them somehow based on the fact that only South Africa and Super falcons are well known in group C.," she said.

Super Falcons will play Bayana Bayana in the opening group match before facing Burundi and Botswana later in the tournament.

Christy Onyenaturuchi Ucheibe

Date of birth; 25/12/2000 (age 21)

Position; Defensive Midfielder

Height; 173cm

Weight; 64kg

Strongest Foot; Right

Club; SL Benfica, PORTUGAL



Christy Ucheibe is widely praised for her work rate and defensive acumen.

A dynamic, diminutive, and disciplined player, Ucheibe is known for her relentless energy and excellent ball-winning abilities as a defensive midfielder in the centre of the pitch. This is attributed to her strong positional sense, off the ball movement, and ability to read the game. Predominantly known for her tactical awareness, intelligence, anticipation, and the defensive aspect of her game, her ability to tackle and regain possession, intercept passes, and block shots
Ucheibe is also capable of playmaking from inside her own half and she is good at shooting from distance, an efficient passer on the counter-attack, helping kick start attacking plays immediately after winning back the ball. She is also quick up and down the pitch and often makes late attacking runs into the box.
Her game is considered as, or tasked with, doing the "dirty work", which includes running, fetching, and retrieving possession.


Question; Is Christy Ucheibe Currently the most Combative Superfalcon Defensive Midfielder??

Banyana Banyana have Africa Women Cup of Nations win in their sights

Now that Banyana know their Africa Women Cup of Nations opponents, the coach can begin plotting a path to the title.
In spite of a perennial dominance of the regional Cosafa Cup, the South African women’s football team are still on the hunt for an elusive Africa Women Cup of Nations (Awcon) title.


During the last edition in 2018, Desiree Ellis’s side missed out on the crown by the skin of their teeth. They went down 4-3 to Nigeria, on penalties. The team’s only consolation was that, by finishing as runners-up, they sealed their maiden Fifa Women’s World Cup appearance in 2019.

For the 2022 edition they have again been pitted against the Nigerians, whom they managed to beat in the 2018 group phase, before the Super Falcons soared when it mattered the most.

.
Now, Banyana Banyana have an opportunity to exact some revenge over their sworn rivals since the tournament draw on 29 April. They also have to contend with Botswana and Burundi – both making their debut at the continental showpiece.

“Well, we always knew the draw was not going to be easy. Nigeria, the defending champions and multiple winners, always bring their A game and know what it takes to win,” Ellis said in reaction to the draw.

Ellis and her charges will be buoyed by their most recent result against the Nigerians. Banyana were 4-2 victors in the final of the inaugural Aisha Buhari Cup invitational tournament, hosted and organised by the west African nation. South Africa’s first group match is against Nigeria. There they will hope to clip the wings of the Super Falcons once again, as they did in the Buhari Cup.
We have played them a few times in the group stages. They have raised their levels and we have to raise our levels even higher to get a positive result. The first game is the most important game and once again we need a positive result but it will take a huge effort,” Ellis said about the Nigerian threat.
Assessing the debutants
Regarding Burundi, the former South Africa international admitted having some knowledge of the east Africans and said that she is looking forward to a good first tie.

“Burundi are one of the debutants, but they are not here by chance. We have not played them before but have seen them during the qualifiers and will have an opportunity during the tournament to see more of them as well,” she noted.

The final occupant of Group C and the team Banyana Banyana will end their mini-league campaign against is neighbouring Botswana – whom they beat in the 2020 Cosafa Women’s Cup final.

“Botswana are from our Cosafa region and are another debutant who we know a lot about, having played each other so many times,” said the two-time CAF Women’s Coach of the Year.

Despite their dominant record against their southern African neighbours, South Africa have painful memories of the Mares kicking them out of their quest to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. But Ellis said that was all in the past and they were zoned in on the future.

“We have not lost to them in 90 minutes in 10 meetings, but we must not forget the Tokyo Olympic qualifier where we failed to score in both matches and lost on a penalty shootout,” she said.

“We have already played them a few times after they cut short our quest to qualify for the 2020 Olympics and have got good results. It’s never about revenge as it’s a totally different competition and game.

“It’s just about the next game and/or next competition. We know a lot of each other and the games have been very tight and I expect this one to be no different.”

Banyana Banyana will begin their title bid against Nigeria on 4 July in Rabat, Morocco. They will then take on Burundi three days later. The culmination of their group phase will come versus regional rivals Botswana on 10 July.
Squad selection process
With women’s football having grown in leaps and bounds in SA over the past decade, Ellis and her technical team have a host of quality players to potentially call upon for the tournament.

There are a few internationally based players who will likely select themselves if they are fit and available. The list includes players such as Spain-based Thembi Kgatlana, who finished as top scorer at the 2018 tournament with five goals. There is also Linda Motlhalo, who brings unrivalled flair and creativity.

Locally, leaders such as Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies duo Bambanani Mbane and Andile Dlamini are likely to feature in the coach’s final squad list in their quest for continental glory in Morocco.

However, with such a wide pool to choose from, it will be a tough task for the coach and her advisers to trim the list down to the 21 players required. Speaking to DM168, Ellis shared some of the technical team’s selection methodology for tournaments in particular.

“People will ask why this player isn’t in the team, but then you chose that one… When we select our teams, we also look at the different formations that we can play, because you have to have a Plan A, Plan B and a Plan C,” said the former Banyana Banyana forward.

She hinted that, with the limitations in terms of the players a technical team can select to take to the tournament, it’s crucial to cover all your bases by choosing players you can call on to play in multiple positions – in case of injury, illness or suspension in the team.

“We also have to look at whether we have all the positions covered enough. So, sometimes a player loses out because of that. For example, if you have a striker [who] can only play as a striker … maybe the striker is not your first or second choice,” said Ellis.

“But you have a striker and a winger who can [both] play across the front three. Then that striker who can only play in that position loses out. Because you’ve got to look at covering all your bases when you’re going for a tournament. You have to have players [who] are … versatile.”
Ellis and her support staff have a few weeks to analyse the players and start curating a final list.

With the domestic leagues – the top-flight Hollywoodbets Super League and second-tier Sasol League – kicking off recently, many will be playing out of their skin to impress the national coach and her technical team. This they will do in the hopes of being part of a Banyana team out to make history in Morocco.

Super Falcons midfielder, Christy Ucheibe has been crowned a Portuguese league champion for the second consecutive time. Her side, SL Benfice defeated Sporting CP 3-1 on Sunday to secure top spot in the division.

Regina Ibiang Otu

Date of Birth; 5/8/1996 (age 25)

Position; Defensive Midfielder

Height; 1.75m

Strongest Foot; Right

Club; FC Minsk, BELARUS



Regina Otu mainly plays as a defensive midfielder, although she has also been deployed in a box-to-box role in the centre of the pitch on several occasion. Otu is an intelligent, physically strong, mobile, aggressive, and hard-tackling midfielder, with an extremely high work-rate. While she is mainly known for her ability to provide balance to her teams by supporting her more offensive-minded teammates defensively, and distributing the ball to them accurately after winning back possession, she is also a well-rounded midfielder, who possesses the ability to get forward with her runs off the ball, or start attacks with her passing, these characteristics also enable her to contribute offensively, or even score goals, in addition to breaking up plays, her quick reactions, as well as her excellent positional sense, ability to read the game, and good anticipation, enable her to excel in a holding midfield role in front of the defence, by cutting out counter-attacks and shielding the back-line.

In addition to her footballing abilities, she also stands out for her competitive spirit, mentality, consistency, and determination on the pitch.


Question; Is Regina Otu the most Combative Superfalcon Defensive Midfielder??

Christy Ucheibe Vs Regina Otu

I will definitely have both in the team, can’t really pick out who’s better. Both are very good players they should be in the team. We need natural ball winners so that our Attacking Midfielders and Fullbacks or Wingbacks can have more time advancing upfront and getting to enjoy playing in the wide areas..

Oh 19yrs old Isabella Obaze who plays as a Left Back for HB Køge in Denmark.
She's very good at her age and there's no hope of Nigeria getting her again as she been in the Danish set up right from the U17, U20 and now with the Senior team.


Just forget anything concerning her playing for Nigeria cause we lost her long ago but you can as well keep up with her games. She's good, had an excellent performance against Barcelona Femenino during the group stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League.. she has been out injured for some weeks now.

After going wrong and observing the how the Burundi Senior Women National Team Plays, I can boldly say that there's no way they will be able to beat the Superfalconet talk more of matching the Superfalcons...

Falconet should comfortably beat them at least 2-3nil...

They will be playing the CECAFA tournament this mouth, Hopefully we would be able to see how far they have improved.
