2026 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup Final Round Of Qualifiers (July 3rd to 5th)

Senagal 🇸🇳 vs 🇬🇭 Ghana
Nigeria 🇳🇬 vs 🇧🇯 Benin
Zambia 🇿🇲 vs 🇪🇹 Ethiopia
South Africa 🇿🇦 vs 🇰🇪 Kenya

One thing I have realized about Nigerians is that we are too emotional about results.
And that’s why it is very easy for us to become detached from reality…. Once we start winning, we immediately assume that everything is working.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 —🚨📰
Nigeria SuperFalcons defender 🇳🇬 Chidinma Okeke has left Club América Femenil after two seasons.

The Nigerian Super Falcons defender made history as the first Nigerian to represent Club América after joining from Japanese Clubside Mynavi Sendai.✍️

The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has strengthened the Malawi National Women’s Football Team technical panel ahead of the Scorchers’ maiden appearance at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) by bringing in Sudesh Singh as Technical Advisor and Tyrese Steyn as Performance Analyst.

SuperFalcons opponents are already in Camp for the WAFCON…

Ivory Coast 🇨🇮
Senegal 🇸🇳
Cameroon 🇨🇲
Zambia 🇿🇲
Tanzania 🇹🇿
Malawi 🇲🇼
Kenya 🇰🇪

Flourish is the best dribbler I've seen in the falcons since the time of esther Sunday ...I hope her falcons career can kick off anytime soon

Flourish Sabastine should be the surprise package in the attack, that girl can come in as a regular substitute and win free kicks for the team at dangerous positions with Esther Okoronkwo there to deliver crosses.

These are some of the advantages Madugu is supposed to be putting down, USA used to get a lot of goals from free kicks and corners because of Megan Rapinoe and Abby Wambach abilities…

isan:
Have you also think about the players health? They just finished a long season and you already want them in camp ?.....what are the chances of the injured players being fit for AWCON? Do you think all them will make it ?

So the ones in Camp with Cameroon, Senegal, Cote’d’ivoire, Tanzania and Kenya that are in Camp now didn’t have a long season??

Or the season that finished since May is not enough??

TheSuperNerd:
After the last window of the Senegal double header, I understand the next camp opens early to mid july or so. Today is June 29.

Wafcon starts July 26. Our first game is July 28. So relax.

I’m calm, but again more than 85% of the players to execute the WAFCON are already in Nigeria 🇳🇬 so why not now…!😳

Cameroon training..!

Cameroon 🇨🇲
Senegal 🇸🇳
Ivory Coast 🇨🇮
Tanzania 🇹🇿

This countries have been in Camp preparing for the WAFCON.. what’s Nigeria excuse this time around??

I know the likes of Michelle Alozie, Nicole Payne, Chioma Okafor, Deborah Abiodun, Monday Gift, Esther Okoronkwo won’t be available for now because of their league is still active and injury cases but again there are a lot of players to execute with if Nigeria is a serious country..

Ashleigh Plumptre, Chinwendu Ihezuo due to their fitness level as per returning from a long term injury. Why can’t the rest be in the Camp?? The season is over in most leagues and the players are back home in Nigeria.

FROM THE PITCH TO THE BOARDROOM ⚽️❤️🫡👩‍🎓🙏.
New Chapter Unfold for Mama Onome Ebi ✨️🙏🙌

I will really love her to go into Coaching… Her experience will be handy and getting those Coaching badges won’t be that difficult for her at least she be big madam..

I think her Social Media presence have also given her the room to improve and get better…

Will love to see her in the WAFCON Squad as 3rd Choice since she’s currently the best goalkeeper in the league.. Training with Nnadozie and Comfort Erhabor will certainly make her get better..

FiveFootNinja:
The same Madugu that said "the older the better"? Lmao. Why do you think people like Ngozi Okobi and Francesca Ordega are still in the team despite people clamoring for new legs?

No worry. E go clear for una eye very soon.

Among those in their 30+ already only the likes of Osinachi Ohale
Asisat Oshoala
Halimatu Ayinde
Toni Payne

Still deserves their call ups especially in the aspect of offering experience to the younger ones and having a blend of Youth and experience.

And again even some of the younger players he keeps calling doesn’t even deserve to be in the team…

How do you invite the likes of Kafayat, Sikiratu, Ilivieda and Josephine Mathias ahead of the likes of Suliat Abideen, Emmanuel Favour, Flourish Sabastine etc??

Is Thirsa Nwabuogor De Meester 19yrs Winger a talent Nigeria 🇳🇬 Should consider snapping up from Belgium 🇧🇪??

She’s already at the U23 level with Belgium and recently signed with SD Eibar in Spain..

Known for her speed, verticality, and ability to break through defenses in the final third

When FIFA released the World rankings and the SuperFalcons retained the 36th position , I saw many people online saying we deserved to be ranked higher, we have been on this 32 - 36th position for a long time , that is just because we are not playing high profile friendly games, if you don’t play or win people higher than you, how do you expect to gain more points, the. Blame goes to NFF, I don’t believe we should be having friendly with any Africa team after the WAFCON in preparation for the World Cup.

No disrespect to them.

This girl Celine Ottah should be going Pro… Arguably the most complete no.10 Nigeria 🇳🇬 have right now and thank goodness she can play as an 8 too.

Defenders for the WAFCON except that no.8 position which Nicole Payne would have been the best option.

1• Osinachi Ohale
2• Blessing Demehin
3• Ashleigh Plumptre
4• Michelle Alozie
5• Shukurat Oladipo
6• Rofiat Imuran
7• Chidinma Okeke
8• Sikiratu Isah.


Nicole Payne should have been there ahead of Sikiratu but Madugu have an affinity for Sikiratu one of the reason she will make the team ahead of Nicole Payne who’s getting back to form..

With Ohale, Demehin, Oladipo and Okeke the center Back position is highly covered..

Plumptre, Imuran, Alozie and N Payne the Fullback position will be in good hands.

And all the other defenders plays in tougher and better league than 28yrs Sikiratu who’s based in Israel 🇮🇱….

I believe all our injured players will be 💯 available for the WAFCON… With over a Month to go

Chinwendu Ihezuo already running on the grass…!

• Chinwendu Ihezuo
• Michelle Alozie
• Ashleigh Plumptre
• Esther Okoronkwo

Esther Okoronkwo is back 💯

Remaining this three Michelle Alozie, Ashleigh Plumptre and Chinwendu Ihezuo..

johnie:
Storm's brewing.

Fake Fake Fake💯

FT | Romaine Gandonou (right from guiding Benin to the 2026 #U20WWC) with both goals for Benin Senior in 3-2 defeat to Morocco U23 this afternoon..

I hope our U17 Coaches are setting up tactics to keep this girl in the locker room.. Our defenders need to be more Physical against her.

If Monday Gift doesn’t make the SuperFalcons squad for the WAFCON I won’t question Madugu decision at all..

Sikiratu Isah not convincing at all… I will prefer Oladipo or Okeke there..

TheSuperNerd:
Imuran's speed na Mach 3. Lol

The only Fullback faster than Imuran is Nicole Payne…

I think the pool of players is very much wide enough now.. Just that Madugu need to do away with those Kafayat and co kind of players he’s calling up to waste spots.

TheSuperNerd:
Shukarat Oladipo is so good that she is as graceful in the RB role as she is at CB but when Alozie returns, Shukarat will vacate that RB role. So where does that leave her? On the bench as the 3rd choice CB or as backup to Alozie or will Madugu start her ahead of the Old General, Ohale and pair her with the Defensive Lieutenant, Demehin... time will tell but Shukurat's case is interesting coz she easily starts for any other national side in Africa and some teams in Europe.

Shukurat have a case for a starting spot but will the Coach drop for her?? Veteran Osinachi Ohale or Michelle Alozie..

FiveFootNinja:
I like this Imuran girl. Very solid.

Rofiat Imuran is ahead of Glory Ogbonna. so if Plumptre comes back fit for the WAFCON, Imuran is certainly her Backup…!

Glory Ogbonna Vs Rofiat Imuran as Ashleigh Plumptre back ups…

Imuran is clear💯
