Substitutions made

Onumono for Babajide
Ayinde for Echegini
Plumptre for Usani

E shock me. Our Nigerian Coaches at U17 and U20 level notoriously don't make subs till 80* minute and never full complement

We're not playing too badly

AkinDS:
What on earth are you talking about

For the record, Gift is NO Boniface. She actually scores and contributes to the betterment of the team. Your analogy is completely off the mark.
Ordega WAS given a last hurrah in the olympics and it was obvious she was piss poor. She has absolutely ZERO business being on this squad and will be a flop again. Last hurrah my hinny.
Ijami-who? Dude, you have no clue about what you're talking here. This one will be another flop. Slow, unintelligent player who has no business being on the team.

Ordega was not at the Olympics. She somewhat sneaked her way into the WorldCup 2023. That was her last tournament.

Surprised to see Chinwendu Ihezuo, Chioma Okafor and no Uchenna Kanu. But I'm indifferent about all 3.

Everything na connection for Naija

Deltamani:
There were enough time to at least camp for 3-4 weeks with the exception of NWSL players and only Ayinde based in Sweden which the Swedish OBOS Damallskvenskan is still in season..

I wondered why this late preparation but they want to win… So Morocco 🇲🇦, Tanzania 🇹🇿, Botswana 🇧🇼, Algeria 🇩🇿 that have been in Camp for a while now doesn’t deserve to win the WAFCON??

Don't mind the yeye NFF. Only 1 match in 2025 out of a possible 6, 7 or 8.
We don't deserve to win period. And if we make it to top 4 then it's because other teams slacked.

WAFCON 2024: Super Falcons Eye 10th Title, Set for Training Camp in Lisbon.
https://superfalconsshow.com/wafcon-2024-super-falcons-eye-10th-title-set-for-training-camp-in-lisbon/

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will open their training camp in Lisbon, Portugal this week as they ramp up preparations for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) scheduled to hold in Morocco.

Led by head coach Justine Madugu, the nine-time African champions will use the training programme to fine-tune tactics, build team cohesion, and assess player fitness ahead of Africa’s premier women’s football tournament

The team is expected to depart Nigeria for Lisbon on Saturday, June 21, with a high-profile international friendly against the Portuguese women’s national team slated for Monday, June 23. The encounter will serve as a crucial test for the Super Falcons, offering a chance to gauge their readiness against European opposition and make final tactical adjustments before the continental championship.

After the friendly, the Nigerian side will continue their preparations in Lisbon before departing for Morocco on Tuesday, June 25, where they will hold a final camp ahead of the tournament.

Coach Madugu has already submitted his list of invited players for the Portugal camp to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), with the official squad announcement expected within the week. The squad is anticipated to feature a mix of experienced regulars and promising newcomers eager to stake their claim ahead of the tournament.

Nigeria, drawn in Group C for WAFCON 2024, will begin their campaign against Tunisia at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca on Sunday, July 6. The group also includes Botswana and Algeria, setting the stage for a competitive battle for knockout stage qualification.

As the most successful team in African women’s football history, the Super Falcons will be aiming to reclaim the WAFCON title they last lifted in 2018 and secure a record-extending 10th continental crown.

Chiamaka Nnadozie is leaving her club.
Rasheedat Ajibade is leaving her club too.

Our 2 Captains. Where the hell are they going to next?

Starting Line Up. I wonder where we can watch this game.
A first game for the Falcons in 2025 on the 6th available window.
NFF should bow their heads in shame.

Buh weytin Okoye do bayi

Nothing. Everybody can not play at the same time. Nwabalu is number 1 and is returning to Nigeria for his parents burial after this game. Okoye will be In goal against Russia.

..

AfroSport TV streamed the Trinidad & Tobago vs Jamaica match yesterday on their Youtube channel.
I suppose they will do same again today for Nigeria vs Ghana

PDPGuy:
Super Falcons squad list for the 2 Cameroon friendlies

Dunno why I suspect, there will be absentees.
Some folks don retire with NFF organizational madness.
Imagine not playing 4 friendlies, it will only get worse.
And why Ordega, why not look towards youth?

Deltamani:
Hey Guys, just wanted to bring this here.

Talking about a proper back up for Chiamaka Nnadozie, I think and I believe that Rita Akarekor is good enough for the 2nd choice position or even as a 3rd choice.

•• Was 3rd choice goalkeeper under Coach Florence Omagbemi at the 2016 WAFCON in Cameroon
••Was part of the 2018 U20 World Cup squad in France
•• Currently based in Tanzania 🇹🇿 playing for the biggest team there after a season in Morocco 🇲🇦



I’m not judging by any shot video clips please, have been following her game for long now and I think she deserves a look.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbCPtom9vs?si=5GufT_boqX3j6xA5

she's at least 27. Why not look at younger keepers for the future. Even Chiamaka Nnadozie is only 24.

Chiamaka Nnadozie and Rasheedat Ajibade leaving their clubs to where?

NFF disgracing and letting down Falcons everyday. Documentary on the situation:

She played a couple of Falconets games in recent years
Good luck to her

From Nigeria to Spain: 21-year-old striker joins black and white side Valencia

Ezekiel Motunrayo becomes the latest Nigerian star to switch to the Spanish Liga-F after her move to Valencia.
Spanish club side Valencia CF have officially signed 21-year-old Nigerian striker Ezekiel Motunrayo, signalling a significant addition to their Women’s squad as they aim to strengthen their attack.

The agreement will see Motunrayo wear the black and white jersey until the summer of 2026 as the club said in a statement.

Motunrayo, who was born on May 30, 2003, in Nigeria, is known for her versatility on the field as she is capable of playing both as a right winger and a centre forward.

Her speed and ability to find the back of the net are expected to be valuable assets for the team.

Before joining Valencia, she played for Rivers Angels during the 2023-2024 season in the Nigeria Women's Football League and had previously been with Lakeside Queens since 2017.

This signing is part of Valencia's strategy to bolster their squad during the January transfer window, with Motunrayo being one of the notable Nigerian talents making the move to Spain's Liga F.

The club hopes that the Nigerian’s skills will help improve their performance in the league as they navigate a challenging season.

Valencia currently sit bottom of the league with seven points from 17 matches after just one win and 12 defeats.

Los Che will be hoping that the addition of Motunrayo will help usher in a new phase at the club as they look to avoid the drop come end of the season.

lovewins:
Happy for her jor. Go secure that bag. She'll probably make more these 3 years than a significant part of her career.

Can you share figures of what the pay is like comparative to Europe, USA, China?

My Baby! Solid move, so happy for her
Well deserved!
Naija to the World!

Deborah Abiodun, Well done!
Yewande Balogun thanks for the clean sheet in goal in that North American friendly trilogy that stopped our losings streak.
Zambia (FAZ) una well done for spotting Top Coaching talent. Our Ex-Players should do the needful too in Management.

Happy new year Folks.
I know we've got WAFCON coming up mid year.
Looking forward to the 3 to 6 friendlies before then.

Any Age grade national team games coming up too?
Of course our Nigerian female league. What's up with that?

Then of course all the updates from our players scattered all over the globe. A lot of us already do a good job here covering that.

2025 be good!

Ghana wins 5 - 4 on penalties.
Tough luck. Congrats to both teams.

Has anyone noticed that our U17 star girl Shakirat Moshood has uneven legs. She limps slightly.
Hope it won't prevent her from going professional?

Game over, straight to penalties, just like in the 3rd place match.
