Coach Justine Madugu emphasizes that Nigeria’s Super Falcons have reached the 10th WAFCON with a singular goal: to reclaim the trophy they have secured nine times in the past 12 championships.
The Super Falcons, one of just seven teams to participate in every edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup since its inception in 1991, overcame the formidable Banyana Banyana of South Africa in Tuesday’s second semifinal, thanks to a stunning cross-cum-floater goal by defender Michelle Alozie during added time.
“We are grateful to God for reaching the final. I assure you that we will not waver or lose focus. Our aim is to lift the trophy in Rabat on Saturday,” Madugu stated as the nine-time champions prepared to depart from Morocco’s industrial and economic hub, Casablanca, on Wednesday afternoon.
The Super Falcons have now arrived in Rabat in anticipation of their final match against the host team, the Atlas Lionesses of Morocco, in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Justine Madugu’s team will conduct their first training session in Rabat at the FUS Academie later this evening.
