Madugu doesn’t have a Contract but he’s still the interim Head Coach though….

If NFF trust him then they should give him the Job as a full time Coach or better-still go for another which I know they can’t even afford..

I must say Deborah Abiodun is arguably among the top3 U23 DM in the World right now..

Is CAF and FIFA okay? Why are they fixing the WAFCON while the European season is still on, the champions league is still on and the NWSL is beginning? This isn't even taking into consideration when clubs are supposed to release players.

Also, why are they compressing the WAFCON into a 2 week tournament?

Again, is CAF okay?

Oshoala vs Plumptre
Ashleigh got an assist to tie the game 2-2 at the 85 minutes mark but Oshoala scored the winner in the 3rd minute of added time.

4 goals and 2 assists in 3 matches for Oshoala

I don’t know why but I cannot trust Plumptre in the Centre Back position for Nigeria

Oshoala is one in a million o, she has played everywhere
Dreams come true type of career

I think CAF and FIFA were thinking that if the men’s AFCON is being held in the middle of the European season with only minor complaints from club managers, then the same can be done for the WAFCON

Joy Omewa, the Nigerian striker who plays in the Danish league, will be a good addition to the Super Falcons set.

Ifeoma Onumonu has announced her retirement from football.

Happy Retirement to her.

One spot freed up, time to bring in Joy Omewa or Edna Imade..! We need a typical Center Forward

Madugu has not started playing the Chioma Okafor girl.

⚽🇳🇬 Pure magic from Joy Omewa!

The Nigerian forward is shining for Fortuna Hjørring with pace, creativity & goals.
🔥 Sit back & enjoy some of her best moments!

🇳🇬 Nigeria’s Joy Omewa of Fortuna Hjorring is on fire! She netted her 10th & 11th goals of the season today, including a 40-yard screamer, making it 5 straight matches on the scoresheet.

After netting 22 goals and 4 assists in 24 League games in 2024/25, Omewa is not slowing down.

She’s currently the top scorer in the Danish league with 7goals and 1 assist in 8games..!

If she wins the golden boot for the second time in a role, I must say it’s time to move to the big leagues

It will be malpractice if she isn't invited for the best WAFCON qualifiers.

@Deltamani,

Now that Onumonu has officially retired from Professional football, now might be the time to integrate Joy Omewa into the squad.

Also, what is the status of Edna Imade?

If West Africans want more slots they should host AFCON tournaments
I’m sure this is what CAF would say
Moroccans are protesting because their government is neglecting education and health, only focusing on sports infrastructure

Good, he has top-quality strikers to choose from
Chioma Okafor
Joy Omewa
Gift Monday
Ihezuo

Let's see how he intends to utilize the talents at his disposal.

Ify Onumonu retires. congratulations kiddo. Thanks for the memories. You did good. 🇳🇬👍🏾

I remember these 2 goals fondly!

7 July 2022 Stade Moulay Hassan, Rabat, Morocco. Nigeria vs Botswana 2–0 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations

Yeah… Joy Omewa deserves a look, golden boot winner this past season and already the top scorer this season..

For Edna Imade, she’s back to form after suffering a knock during preseason… Already 2 goals in 4 game this season.. the news is still thesame that she already in contact with Spain to play for them that’s why she’s on loan with Real Sociedad so as to stay for a year to complete the process before joining Bayern next season..

1• Esther Okoronkwo

3• Chinwendu Ihezuo
4• Ijamilusi Folashade
5• Gift Monday
6• Chioma Okafor
7• Uchenna Kanu
8• Rinsola Babajide

Asisat Oshoala
Fransisca Ordega
Joy Omewa
Edna Imade

To pick from.., but again we don’t have those kind of standouts Striker again, whose name alone sound as a big threat to opponents..! (Maybe Esther Okoronkwo)

Will Chioma Okafor step into that boot? Her size and pace will work well as a winger on either flanks as she doesn’t have the build as a CF, Omewa and Imade standout.

Any word on Ayooluwa OKE , who plays for Pachuca in Mexico, alongside Chiwendu and Osi Ohale.
Real good attacking midfielder slash right back.
Tons of age grade experience in the US set up.

Wafcon Expands to 16 Teams For 2026 Finals

The Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) finals will expand from 12 to 16 teams starting from the 2026 edition, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has announced.

Next year's tournament in Morocco 🇲🇦 was set to have 12 competing sides, and qualifying for the finals has already reached the second and final round.

The expansion will likely require a third round of preliminaries to be played, with 11 remaining nations competing for four spots.

Caf is expected to announce further details after discussions at its executive committee meeting being held in Kinshasa.

Wafcon was an eight-team tournament from its first edition in 1998 until the 2018 finals in Ghana 🇬🇭.

The 2020 Wafcon was scrapped because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but the competition returned with 12 sides in 2022.

Caf has invested in order to improve women's football on the continent, with this year's tournament in Morocco seeing a 45% increase in the overall prize pot to $3.45m (£2.6m).

Champions Nigeria 🇳🇬 were handed $1m (£750,000) after winning a record-extending 10th Wafcon title.
"I am pleased with the progress we've made in women's African football," Caf president Patrice Motsepe said.

"Part of my starting point is making sure [men and women] are paid well and they can make a career out of football.

"I can assure you women's football will continue to improve because that is an area we are focussing on a lot."
