The coach is not in Africa. It obviously from the foreign country.

Truthfully is only a Foreign Coach that will handle the team and NFF will be pressured to do the needful for them.. Because those foreign coaches won’t keep quiet for the NFF to walk over them and spoil their reputations..

Madugu and Ann is only there because they’re the ones the NFF can tell sit down and they would immediately…! They can’t question the NFF neither can they demand for a better preparation or treatment for the team from the NFF..

Give them dirty water they would drink.

AkinDS:
How and What exactly did say or do to the team at half time that changed the tide?

Till this day, not a single one of the players has come out to say how he inspired them, strategically or tactically?

But I have heard a player state that nothing was said to them at half time and that the players took it upon themselves to close up the spaces between them and the Moroccans, which gave them less time on the ball.

Coached? Puhlease!

I laugh everytime once I hear Madugu won the Won because of his tactical abilities…

A lot have been said by the players and those words must remain within the walls that heard them because of the players safety..

Madugu is not the Coach to take the Super Falcons to that heights we’re thinking.

FT: Brazil 🇧🇷 2 - 1 USWNT 🇺🇲
Classic brazil play fast physical long long balls,disrupt the play as much as possible.
Uswnt not allowed to play their game or settle the ball, ought to have a different gameplan on game 2

Brazil is a very physical and direct team right now unlike they were in 2024 and early 2025. They isolated their attackers against US defence multiple times. Brazil a team to watch next year world cup. And I would love the Super Falcons to play against them in a Friendly game..

Mercy Akide Udoh second daughter Madison Udoh turn 16…

She’s recently recovered from an ACL injury

A replica of her mother in terms of physique and how she plays as a Center Forward. With the few clips of her games have seen, she’s one for the future.. Good in the air, uses both feet’s effectively and a typical no.9 who can bully her way into the Box 18.

Like Mother like Daughter 💯

📍Official: Israeli-based Josephine Mathias replaces the crocked 🇳🇬Halimatu Ayinde in the Super Falcons squad for the double-header against 🇸🇳Senegal

Justin Madugu names his 23-player #SuperFalcons squad for June’s friendlies against Senegal 🇸🇳

#womensinternationals

Senegal 🇸🇳 squad to face Nigeria 🇳🇬 June 5, June 8 as they prepare for #WAFCON2026

I saw a clip of Esther Okoronkwo back in training…

Injury still worry this girl sha..

After 2 ACL, that’s at least 2 years out of football and she’s still playing at this level..

NasirIbnLaAhad:
The muppet might likely be exposed at this next WAFCON. That WAFCON win gassed both him and NFF up to think they're better than they are. Questionable player selections and preferences, lack of friendly games,... If we're not careful, we're not going to the 2027 World Cup.

Abeg oooooo

They better qualify for the World Cup if not some of us fit faint oooh… 😲

Any Madugu’s favorites are here so mind what you say so they don’t attack you. He’s the best Coach in Africa as far as the women game is concerned.

BascoVanVeli:
She played as a winger too

Starting and playing 60 minutes is a big confidence booster for a player coming from an ACL injury after being out for over a year…

As Orlando Pride coach have said he’s trying to get Nicole more playing time and I guess we would get to say her play either as a Winger or her Original right back position.

Nicole Payne 🇳🇬 scores the match winner in her first start since returning from a long term injury that saw her miss the whole of 2025.

Taking her to the WAFCON might also boost her confidence though… Kudos to Orlando Pride who signed her even though she’s just returning from a major injury..

Predator87:
I don't get why Harmony isn't playing for the U20s. We needed her vs Malawi.

This Harmony Chidi is giving a Mini Cynthia Uwak/Ewa Pajor Vibes, let’s keep watching though..

Predator87:
We should easily dispose Guinea home and away but Benin will be tough. Their main striker is a machine. She is already top scorer for their U20 team.

That Benin girl can hurt the Flamingoes if they don’t take care of her properly…

Not trying to hype her but the girl is another version of Tabitha Chawinga, I hope the flamingoes will play as a team and also have Strong and fast enough defenders to match her Athleticism… she’s currently with PSG.

TheSuperNerd:
So little said of Rofiat Imuran who I feel deserves more invites than she has gotten so far. I know she did not exactly finish the season in the starting lineup of London City Lionesses but she did garner enough gametime and impressed multiple times when she playes LB. She should seriously be in the mix for the Wafcon as Ashley's backup.

The problem at Club level right now is that the Spanish Coach do not fancy her at all. He prefers to play the English or Spanish Left Back unlike the former French Coach who liked her so much and always play her..


Maybe time to look elsewhere, since the New Coach doesn’t look her way! Arguably among the top3 fastest Left Back in the WSL..

AndSunGorilla:
Interesting, Justine usually plays her at RB and seems to prefer Isah over her as CB backup.

Sikiratu Isah 28yrs doesn’t even deserve to be there in the first place…. If Okeke come back, she should be gone!

She isn’t an imposing Center Back as Shukurat and Okeke are way ahead and plays in better leagues..

This 4 CB’s are good to go for the WAFCON
Osinachi Ohale
Blessing Demehin
Shukurat Oladipo
Chidinma Okeke

Fullbacks
Ashleigh Plumptre
Michelle Alozie
Nicole Payne, Imuran, anybody else and I guess this is where we really lack, like for like replacement especially on the left side as Oladipo is good enough to go as Right Back as well.

AndSunGorilla:
That's a huge accomplishment!!!!! One of the revelations of Coach Madugu!!

Which revelations?? Say something better.

Kibbs:
If you don’t want us to assume based on what we saw, then tell us the story sir

If it’s something i can say here in Public i would have said long ago…

isan:
Demehin , plumptre and oladapo are better .... she's also a welcome addition

Would say yes because these ones have been tested and trusted at the highest level… 💯

She’s a ball playing defender and her performance will certainly speak for her when the time comes..

Predator87:
Wendie Renard my foot. As soon as she won promotion the 1st time she ran back to the French 2nd division.

Sounding as if she went back to D2 on purpose, if you know the story you won’t sound this way…

gomol:
Hope she doesn't make a move back to the lower division?

Don’t worry she will play in D1 next season, there were some factors which I can’t state here that made her leave Nantes FC back to US Saint Malo after gaining promotion two years ago..

Played 21 league games and 2goals this season.

Don’t also forget that the France D2 is the equivalent of the Turkish League, Poland, Israel and Greece.

And playing in England D2 best those leagues by far..

yinkeys:
Some people say Italian league ain’t that tough like Mexico, Canada etc

Wrong the Italian league is better and more competitive than both, the Italian league is currently 5th behind England, Spain, France and Germany in Europe..

Maureen Umeughochukwu 24yrs, known as The Nigerian Wendie Renard, has secured promotion to the top division in France 🇫🇷 with US Saint Malo. Nigeria 🇳🇬 will now have a tall ball playing Center back playing in the French top flight.

Some of her attributes; Elite passing range, dominate aerial duels, high composure, vision, and excellent reading of the game..

🇳🇬 Shukurat Oladipo, ladies and gentlemen.

Best defender in the Italian Serie A Women.

Shukurat Oladipo named Serie A defender of the season and also made the XI of the season

She’s knocking on the SuperFalcons Starting Eleven Door…….! Ohale, Demehin and Alozie should watch out.

Thank Goodness she can play Center Back and Right Back.

🚨 Just In:

Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons, will take on Senegal Women’s National Team in a double-header international friendly scheduled for June 5 and 8.

Both matches will be played in Ikenne, Nigeria. 🇳🇬⚽

This girl have all it takes to play in the top5 league in the World…

Her only weakness is being small in size…

If she can improve on her physicality and pace then she can be tagged on same level as the likes of Olivia Smith, Alyssa Thompson, Linda Caicedo, Vicky Lopez and Aoba Fujino

The Reggae Girlz are headed to Panama 🇯🇲✈️🇵🇦

Jamaica will face Panama in two international friendlies on June 5 & 8 as preparation continues for the CONCACAF W Championship and the road to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Jamaica Football Federation has reaffirmed its commitment to FIFA compliance and transparency following recent reports surrounding the proposed fixture involving the Reggae Girlz and Nigeria.

TheSuperNerd:
Ebere Orji was such a baller then in the U20s even at the world stage. A real shocker she did not make her mark as a Super Falcon.

The Generational attacking talent will break through. We always produce one for every era. As Oshoala's era ends, another will emerge. But in Big Janet Akekoromowei, Chidi Harmony, Flourisg Sabastine and co, we still have bonafide exciting young talents coming through. So it is just a matter of time.

A matter of time for sure but again I only have three I could pick on right now as the possible next big star for the SuperFalcons and Africa at large even though there are other talented players, but we never can tell..

1• Chioma Okafor 23yrs (North Carolina Courage, 🇺🇸)

2• Janet Akekoromowei 18yrs (Bayelsa Queens, 🇳🇬)

3• Florence Onyinyechukwu Okoli 22yrs (Sandvikens IF, 🇸🇪)

Let’s see how it goes before they get to 25 especially those other two in their early 20’s already.

BascoVanVeli:
Rasheedat Ajibade? Chiwendu Ihezou?

When Esther Sunday and Ebere Orji burst in from the 2008-2012 era alongside Oparanozie, Ordega and co before Oshoala we thought they were the new replacement for Perpetual, Uwak but no they didn’t lived up to expectations but that doesn’t take away their qualities as players..
