Schemerkhiz:Drop at least 3 players from here.. ➖One among the Homebased goalkeepers ➖One or two among Glory Ogbonna, Chidinma Okeke and Sikiratu Isah. ➖One of or the two of them Ngozi Okobi and Precious Christopher Asisat Oshoala, Toni Payne, Chioma Okafor or Uchenna Kanu can come in.. Imagine having Uchenna Kanu, Babajide and Ihezuo in the squad when they usually play from the Left Wing as primary position.. Monday Gift and Chioma Okafor can also play from there. Tough task for Madugu and Ann.. |
PDPGuy:If i have the opportunity Chioma Okafor will be there but again Asisat Oshoala is a must pick oh, even though she will mostly play a minor part on the field. I’m speaking from inward thinking.. What if you later see Aunty Franny name? Asisat Oshoala Rasheedat Ajibade Esther Okoronkwo Chiwendu Ihezuo Ijamilusi Folashade Rinsola Babajide Monday Gift Joy Omewa Chioma Okafor Uchenna Kanu.. Thank goodness CAF allows 25 players for the WAFCON but Problem Dey oh, 7-8 forwards |
TheSuperNerd:Kanu making a case for a spot in the final roster.. That nagging knee Injury have been a major problem for her I must say, The most complete forward the SuperFalcons have in recent years but didn’t live up to expectations…! |
Schemerkhiz:Some Possible dropping and those that might come in for the WAFCON. One goalkeeper must surely be dropped and Oshoala is a sure banker for that spot. Fatima Oloko ➖ Asisat Oshoala Glory Ogbonna ➖ Chioma Okafor Precious Christopher ➖ Toni Payne Can’t make a case for Nicole Payne who hasn’t played competitive football since her ACL just like Okobi.. Rofiat Imuran, since the arrival of the Spanish Coach she has been dropped to the bench for the England girl who just got called up by Sarina and Spanish girl Lucia Corrale from Barcelona.. Imagine LCL having 3 good players fighting for one spot. |
Schemerkhiz:➖Right Wing Rasheedat Ajibade Folashade Ijamilusi ➖Left Wing Rinsola Babajide Chinwendu Ihezuo ➖ Center Forward Esther Okoronkwo Monday Gift Joy Omewa Gift and Esther can also play in all positions upfront , Ihezuo as a Center Forward as well. Asisat Oshoala and Chioma Okafor will likely return especially Oshoala with 25players going to the WAFCON. |
Would love to see the trio of Rinsola Babajide, Esther Okoronkwo and Rasheedat Ajibade upfront.. But again Esther Okoronkwo isn’t a Traditional "Target Woman/Poacher", she plays like a false 9 and those forwards who love to involve in play, drift wide and make things happen instead of doing the main job of scoring goals.. One reason I’m clamoring for a typical no.9 and I don’t think Joy Omewa who’s that type is a starter yet.. |
Legendary Canadian midfielder Desiree Scott celebrates Ngozi Okobi's recall to the Super Falcons, having previously been club mates at Ottawa Rapids in Canada, before Scott's retirement at the end of last season.
|
My sole disappointment is the omission of Chioma Okafor's name from the list. She is an exceptional player with a unique combination of pace, strength, and skills that the SuperFalcons lack, unlike Malawi and Zambia. |
Schemerkhiz:I share the same views on Nicole Payne, who is competing at a high level in one of the world's strongest leagues and has returned from a long term injury. I would have prioritized her selection over the two defenders based in Israel 🇮🇱, considering the relatively weaker nature of their league. Nicole Payne can play on both side as a Fullback while we already have Chidinma Okeke and Shukurat Oladipo as backup's for Ohale and Demehin at CB as well as alternate Right/Left Backs |
Jojodjo:As a fan of Ngozi Okobi, I have mixed feelings about her call-up, primarily due to her insufficient game time at the club level. However, considering Tony Payne's current injury, I will interpret this as a strategic decision, given her extensive experience in midfield and as a player, which will likely benefit the team. Additionally, it is beneficial to have an active player who is a mother on the team, similar to what other European and American countries do to support their players who continue to compete at a high level. In terms of age, the Okobi case differs from Onome Ebi's as Onome was already 40+ and without a club at the time, whereas Ngozi Okobi remains active, training regularly with her top-tier club. If Okobi weren't proficient, her club would likely have terminated her contract by the end of last season.

daveP: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. |
ekehopp2: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 |

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! |

I hope this (WAFU B) Four-Nation Tournament cancellation rumour isn’t true..! |
So so inspiring…. What we love to see and hope she ends up with a big club when she goes professional soon..! SuperFalcons future no.10, with the way she plays just play a double pivot of CDM behind her and allow her flourish… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iryD10Z2Jw?si=xY-dPtUSJ7F9mXne
|
I just hope the NFF/ Coaches are keeping track of this future star.. Joy Okonye of Brown University… 🇺🇸 A Brilliant Attacking Midfielder with similar physique like Toni Payne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dDDKGVZG-U?si=GPpDkFoJ_E7Xc4DW |
My 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ WAFCON Squad Goalkeepers 🧤 1• Chiamaka Nnadozie 2• Comfort Erhabor/ Mojisola Ayodele 3• 🇳🇬 Based Defenders 🛡️ 1• Osinachi Ohale 2• Blessing Demehin 3• Ashleigh Plumptre 4• Michelle Alozie 5• Chidinma Okeke / Maureen Umeugochukwu 6• Nicole Payne 7• Rofiat Imuran Midfielders 🧠 1• Halimatu Ayinde 2• Christy Ucheibe 3• Deborah Abiodun 4• Onyi Echegini 5• Toni Payne 6• Rasheedat Ajibade Forwards 🥅 1• Asisat Oshoala 2• Esther Okoronkwo 3• Ijamilusi Folashade 4• Chinwendu Ihezuo 5• Chioma Okafor 6• Monday Gift 7• Rinsola Babajide / Joy Omewa Note; I put Ajibade in midfield to accommodate more options in Attack but she should play on the wing. Anyway there will be some shocker with at least 3 slots going to those Home based players they will want to force in by any means. |
PDPGuy:We still don’t have a Proper ( no.9 )Natural finisher yet since Desire Oparanozie retirement..! Joy Omewa is best as Substitute as she needs to improve a lot on her game even though she hasn’t played much minutes.. As for Gift Monday if she makes the team and get to play she will want to prove those dropping her from the team wrong… A good inclusion. We will have to make do with Esther Okoronkwo who get more involved in ball playing rather than waiting to be fed to score goals. Edna Imade lose 😭 |
PDPGuy:Is it not too early to bench Osinachi Ohale? Yes she has lost one or two yards of pace but she makes up for it with experience and good positioning.. I must say the Backline still needs a Veteran like her. Also the Central Defense might also lack that height she brings one of the reason I will clamour for a tall CB as replacement. In Midfield Madugu hardly play a Double Pivots, he prefers a Single DM and two CAM ( Ajibade & Echegini ). But again moving Ajibade back to the Right Wing Is a big plus which I’m hoping he will consider.. |
🇳🇬 Been catching up with some of the Nigerian U23 players abroad we ain’t familiar with. My takeaway is Nigeria have a really exciting talent in Chioma Okafor and Florence Onyinyechukwu Okoli. They’re one of the fastest players I’ve seen at this level. Incredibly quick and causes so many problems for defenders. Not the tallest but they makes up for it with their quick feet and speed. They’re still raw. Needs to improve some of their actions when they gets into goal-scoring opportunities. But that pace and their ability to draw defenders to themselves makes them players with special potential. They closes down opponents so well in the opposition’s final third. Wins a lot of balls that way. Excellent in one 🆚 one situations. They Could do more defensively, tracking back to help out in defending. But they have got everything to go really far. Remember their name… Okafor and Okoli Both currently 22yrs and can play all positions upfront but Okoli is mainly a no.9
|
Nigeria 🇳🇬 SuperFalcons need a Kelvin Bassey in that Backline. Whosoever that’s going to takeover from 34 years old Osinachi Ohale should be able to give us that CB vibes. |

Voting chiamaka nnadozie 5th is a deliberate attempt at sabotage and that dude is a hater,no cap Voting super falcons 5th is just an arse move. This Mr Sam needs to explain himself cause his votes are not normal |
Deltamani:The National Team of the year that Ahmadu voted for was “Tanzania” can’t recollect any marvelous thing they did. I may be wrong but can someone shed more light on the Tanzanian team? |
Deltamani:Ahmadu's voting is not only spiteful. It is condescending. For someone who was rated 4th best goalkeeper in the world at the Ballon d'Or, nobody matches her currently on the continent. This isn't even about patriotism (not that is bad) , it is about doing what is right and just. And for those saying that their vote is their choice, I hope you all know that it could be you, in a different context someday. Imagine being highly deserving of a reward, and someone intentionally prevents you from getting it because they have the power to do so. |
isan:You will surely eat your words very soon, just because she was still in College! 2026 is here. Same Chioma Okafor that has one of the most powerful weapon in the Women’s game. Right now the Super Falcons do not have her type in the team, A fast striker with top speed, Strength and agility to outrun defenders.. Chioma is going to be one Weapon the Super Falcons will rely on in the future just as Racheal Kundananji, Barbra Banda and the Chawinga Sisters.. |
isan:She recovered before the South Africa and Morocco game so why wasn’t she given at least a minute to tie her down? |
Deltamani:Now that Edna Imade issue is off the Super Falcons table, I hope the NFF and the Clueless Madugu won’t mess things up with Chioma Okafor. She’s another Big talent that would explode very soon. Thank goodness she’s going pro hopefully this December or January she will announce her next move.
|
QueenJazz:Yes the game is improving but It’s affecting already, Imagine Super Falcons drawing with Benin here in Nigeria 🇳🇬. The only advantage Nigerian is having right now is the talent pool and player exposure we have more than the other Countries.. |
isan:I will pick that Azeez before the so called U20 Right back. |
