For me Peace was better than Ajibade back then. She just didn't get the opportunities.

Let’s just say Peace had a slight edge 10-15%

Ajibade was a slow and steady player then until she started hitting her prime while peace was more on the Spotlight then but didn’t live up to the billing…

🅰️ - Currently Active Players.

Stella Mbachu still remains SuperFalcons all round best Winger till date, I believe she’s faster than the Chawinga sisters, Banda and co but they’re more physical than her….

Rachael Adedini

The Manchester City Striker Adedini was born on 20 June 2009 in France. A native of Le Havre, France, she is of Nigerian descent through her parents.

She better reconsider and follow the Nigeria way ohhh. But again we have Semenya and Chidi Harmony coming up.

One of Malawi 🇲🇼 Striker Asimenye who’s an 100M, 200M and 400M athletes just arrive Morocco for the WAFCON….


Asimenye Simwaka (born 8 August 1997) is a Malawian athlete and footballer who plays as a forward for the Malawi women's national team.

She competed in the 2020 and 2024 Paris Olympics, carrying the flag for Malawi on both. She is employed by the Malawian Defence Force.

Copied from a group.

IT'S ON FIRE! ASIMENYE SIMWAKA HAS ARRIVED AT THE SCORCHERS CAMP IN MOROCCO!

Good news for fans of the Malawi women's national football team, the Scorchers!

After missing the first two games of WAFCON 2026, Asimenye Simwaka has arrived at the Scorchers camp in Morocco and has joined her teammates.

During the time the Scorchers were playing against Egypt and Nigeria, Asimenye was representing Malawi in Athletics, where she also competes as a sprinter. She is one of the top athletes in the country, holding the Malawi national record in the 100m, 200m and 400m. After finishing her athletics duties, she has now arrived to help the Scorchers at WAFCON.

In football, Asimenye is one of the most dangerous players for the Scorchers and for MDF Lioness FC. She is known for her speed, her skill, and her goal-scoring ability.

Asimenye scored the first goal when Malawi beat Zambia 2-1 in the final of the COSAFA Women's Championship 2023, which helped the Scorchers win the trophy for the first time in history.

In 2025, she scored two goals when the Scorchers beat Lesotho 3-0 in a friendly match.

In the second game against Lesotho, she scored a hat-trick, helping Malawi win 3-0 again.

In the 2022/23 season, she scored 31 goals in all competitions for MDF Lioness, which made her one of the most dangerous players in Women's Football in Malawi.

Her arrival has given many fans hope that the Scorchers will be even stronger in the next games.

Welcome Asimenye Simwaka!...

She competed in the 2020 and 2024 Paris Olympics, carrying the flag for Malawi on both. She is employed by the Malawian Defence Force.

But for some weird reason what if both teams completely do this, like Zambia defeat Malawi by a 4-3 scoreline in the final group matchday.

This result would safely navigate both sides into the knockout stage of the tournament, regardless of what happens in the other game.

Those who follow the Malawian and Zambians side surely agree that judging by the front lines only, such a result sounds pretty likely, as we all anticipate a high-scoring game.

yinkeys:
Who brought in Ijamilusi pls ?

Madugu 💯

Ijamilusi is one player who have played for Nigeria from U17, U20 down to the SuperFalcons…

At some point she was an Attacking Midfielder/Winger at the youth level until a major knee injury halted her career progress for over a year or so..

She then got back on her feet and started shining again in the NWPL for FC Robo, then move to Edo Queens before the China move..

At some point she was better than what am seeing right now, let’s just say she hasn’t been able to hit her prime yet..

I will say the same for Peace Efih.. another solid Attacking midfielder/Wide Midfielder.

Judas1X:
Now that Super Falcons have scraped by another game, our fate is no longer in our hands. Beating Egypt is not enough if it's not going to be 5 goals at the very least, because
Zambia fit just wake up pour sand for our garri by trashing Malawi and leaving us all in limbo on the last day.

This is how it going to play out if the 3 teams get 6points

If more than two teams are tied, the following criteria will be applied instead:

1• Points in matches among the tied teams;

2• Goal difference in matches among the tied teams;

3• Goals scored in matches among the tied teams;

4• If after applying all criteria above, two teams are still tied, the above criteria will be applied only to matches played between the two teams in question. If this does not resolve the tie, the next three criteria will be applied;

5• Goal difference in all group matches;

6• Goals scored in all group matches;

7• Drawing of lots.

Your F**lery doesn’t surprise me anyway…

I won’t go low with you.

AndSunGorilla:
What if Madugu wins the tourney again?

I will be so so happy and also celebrate the girls but that so called Madugu has to goooooooooooo

Judas1X:
Nigeria isn't winning 😂😂😂

Keep calm… The girls will turn things around, they’re playing to save their own face too..!

NasirIbnLaAhad:
If the Malawi game exposed him, this game will seal his fate completely. Then finally we can realize how much of a decline we've been on since Randy left the fold and we can also rest from all the "he won the WAFCON", and "he was nominated for Ballon D'or" gibberish.

Abeg let’s wish for the girls to qualify for the World Cup first, after then Madugu can leave…

I hope she replicates the last performance she had against Zambia today…!

Again she was having a great game against Malawi 🇲🇼 but the moment she step out of position into the midfield we conceded and Ayinde & Alozie couldn’t cover up for her..

She must stay with Banda and allow the double pivots of Ucheibe & Abiodun do their job..

With the double pivots to cover up, Imuran will certainly bump forward more..

Live CAF women's rankings with the games played so far, Ghana 🇬🇭 moves to 2nd for the first time since 2017, Nigeria 🇳🇬 loses a record 35.83 points in a single game..


Disadvantage of losing to a lowly ranked team..and beating all this African teams were never going to give you a good point..

solonnachi:
So many surprises springing up at this WAFCON 2026. Big teams humbled by smaller teams. May God help us in our game tomorrow against Zambia.

The thing get as e be…!!

Having a bad feeling about the game today and I hope it doesn’t happen… As a Nigerian praying for a Positive Outcome in our Favour 💯❤️🇳🇬🙏

ekehopp2:
What Madugu was paid for taking 1st sadly much less than what Randy got for taking 4th.

NFF will never pay local coaches (Finidi, Madugu) well or give them friendlies to utilise all FIFA windows. So if it takes a foreign coach to make NFF situp, then so be it.

I believe there are quality Foreign Coaches out there that will be willing to accept $20K monthly salary…

And those coaches will certainly demand for Quality preparation, friendly games and make good selection..

Na NFF be Nigeria problem, make we no Dey blame Madugu too much

Spainever:
If Ivory coast could employ former coach of Lyon women team ,what stopped Nigeria from getting a good coach ? One of the major advantages of a good coach is that talented players will be selected not sentiment 😁. We see what is happing to Nigeria now ..you cannot continue to rely on luck and individual player. Ohale should not be starting games she has paid her dues . She can always come in . She is aged and now very slow

One thing with this Coaches, they will go all out and scout for quality youngsters who will move the team forward… Not going back to Old Mama’s them.

Imagine talents like Nicole Payne, Flourish Sabastine, Chioma Okafor, Maureen Umeughochukwu, Chidinma Okeke being overlooked for Sikiratu Isah, Glory Ogbonna, Franny who’s past her prime.

FiveFootNinja:
This could be us tomorrow.

For the sake of the girls and fans like us…. We would WIN 💯

lovewins:
This is shocking.

Ivory coast is playing beautifully too.

Like I’m enjoying the game, how they transition from Defense to midfield and wide into the flanks for their wingers to do the needful…

carbonado:
South Africa in trouble at the moment....Morocco's former coach orchestrating South Africa's head ache.

Wish we have somebody like this as Coach…

We already have the players but Bad Federation and not good enough Coach leading the team.

36| South Africa 🇿🇦 (0️⃣) — (2️⃣) Cote’d’ivoire 🇨🇮

What we love to see….

19| South Africa 🇿🇦 (0️⃣) — (1️⃣) Cote’d’ivoire 🇨🇮

PDPGuy:
Nope. I’m against trans “women” competing in women’s sports (and vice versa)

But I guess this one is of same level with the likes of Banda, Chawinga Sisters, Clara Lavunga, Kabakaba etc..

daveP:
Alozie should play her LB abeg. Let Toni start also.

Saw this on Twitter…

But i don’t know Imuran’s health level right now..

potland:
its high time somebody displaces Nnadozie. I mean since she took over from precious dede, it’s been one mistake to the other. Year in year out, we keep tolerating her blunders in goal. Is there no other goal keeper again in Nigeria to save us from this tiktok sensation?

Nnadozie took over from Tochukwu OLUEHI not Dede…

Dede retired after 2015 World Cup and between then we were having Alaba Jonathan, Ibubeleye Whyte and Tochukwu Oluehi while Nnadozie came out 2016 through the Airtel Rising Star Tournament…

Babajide can come in for Uchenna Kanu
Ihezuo for Esther while Monday can slot in as a Winger in case..

Payne should come in for Echegini or move Ajibade there and bring in a Winger to the right ..

Abiodun for either of Ucheibe & Ayinde

ekehopp2:
Nigeria vs Zambia. Likely lineup?
We beat them 5 nil last year.
More tension mount for our side this time around.

I'm guessing Coach will use 2 defensive midfielders against a team who again have masculine players

--Kanu--Okoronkwo--Payne
-----------Ajibade
---Abioudun----Ayinde
--Alozie--Demehin--Ohale--Oladipo
---------Nnadozie

➖ The Double Pivot of Ayinde and Ucheibe look more tight to me, i will rather have Abiodun come in for Ayinde in the Second Half.. Starting Payne in this kind of physical game might not go well… Maybe Push Ajibade to the Right and put Echegini in front of the Double Pivot

Or Push Esther to the right and put Ihezuo Centrally…

I would love Babajide in this game but do we have a Striker that can get to the end of her crosses as that’s one of her strength as a Winger…

Monday Gift should come in as Substitute for whosoever plays the no.9

If Imuran is not fit then Alozie can remain on the Left, but why did Madugu pick Glory Ogbonna who isn’t good enough for the Falcons?? Nicole Payne and Okeke are there…!
