Thanks for the link,

But, we don't have a deadball specialist, Else those free kicks in that dangerous areas, would had resulted in 2-3goals for us
We had 3 on the pitch. Shakirat, Favour and Tamininu

Coach should consider inviting Peace Effiong and Chidi Harmony. They had a lethal combination at the U17 World cup. Dont know why they aren't getting callups to the U20 team. If it's possible, Joy Okonye of Brown University should be considered assuming she is U20. This team has the potential to be one of the best U20 teams since Assisat Oshoala's set. The coach just needs to invite the right players. No politics, No sentiments. Hopefully Janet injuries heal by the time May comes along.

Yes those 2 are lethal. I trust Chidi Harmony is recovered by now I hope. Peace Effiong is always good to go.
But you know so with the plethora of talents, everything na by connection. Different coach too.
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by AkinDS: 9:08pm On Feb 15
Joy is a junior at Brown Uni, and will likely be neck deep in final exams.
Pretty sure she is over 20 yrs old

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣WAFCON Preparations: Nigeria 🇳🇬, Cameroon 🇨🇲 Renew Rivalry in Double-Header Friendly Match.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria are gearing up for the Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, and they've got a crucial warm-up against Cameroon. The teams will face off in two friendly matches in Yaounde on February 28th and March 3rd, 2026. Nigeria, the 10-time champions, aim to retain their title and qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil ¹.

NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, expressed confidence in the team's preparation, saying they're committed to doing everything to retain their WAFCON title. FECAFOOT General Secretary, Isaac Mandong, welcomed the opportunity to host Nigeria and strengthen ties between the two federations.

I wonder how we no longer talk about this small but mighty player…

Arguably one of the best 1-V-1 Winger Nigeria have…!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNdi3uagyHI?feature=shared

I’m not a fan of small players but i must say she’s a go to player for me..! As she can cause havoc to any stubborn defense, I think you guys should watch more of Fenerbahce games to see more!

Asisat Oshoala finally retires. Ope Oh! Tochukwu Oluehi and Francisca Ordega follow her out. Ifeoma Onumonu honourably retired last year, Toni Payne fair enough is out of favour.

Ngozi Okobi, finally gets another shot at a cap since 2023. Lols. Congratulations.

Balanced squad, fair enough. I can't really fault the coach for anything.

List is pretty Solid…
My only complaint is Chioma Okafor and that Mojisola Ayodele 🧤

Nicole Payne just returned from ACL so no wahala..

Toni Payne is injured…! 🤕


But be rest assured that Asisat Oshoala will return for the WAFCON and i hope Chioma Okafor does too
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m):
Who else feels friendlies with African opponents is not challenging for the quality this team wields? We should be playing international friendlies steady by now.


I want to believe Okobi might get the armband, no?

As how?

Rasheedat Ajibade remains the skipper, even the captain band was to go to another based on seniority in the team then Ohale is the rightful one before Okobi, Franny, Oshoala and then Ayinde.

Before e reach Ajibade, shebi all of them do artful dodger when Ebi was retiring na. Only Ayinde don rock am since that time. So i think it stands a chance.
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by AkinDS: 5:18pm On Feb 19
For me, it is an incredibly STUPID idea to bring back 32 yr old Ngozi Okobi into the SF.
What value does she bring?? Since joining Ottawa Rapid FC in Jan 2025, she has played 9 mins total! SHE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
Again, when some of us question Magudu's intellect, we get vitriol from his fans.

Common sense would suggest that now is the time to invest time and energy in up and coming midfielders, like:

* Favour Emmanuel
* Chioma Oliseh
* Joy Okonye
* Ayo Oke (who is still eligible for the SF).
* Ashanti Akpan
* Elisha Sulola

This is the time to invest in these young players, not selecting an over-the-hill, spent, divisive person like Ngozi Okobi.
Really dumb decision!!!
