Ordega Blames Poor Preparation for Super Falcons’ WAFCON 2026 Exit

Ordega Blames Poor Preparation for Super Falcons’ WAFCON 2026 Exit

Francisca Ordega says inadequate preparation contributed to the Super Falcons’ disappointing exit from the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria missed the semi-finals for the first time in the competition’s history after losing 1-0 to Cameroon in the quarter-finals. The Falcons had earlier suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat to tournament debutants Malawi before recovering in their later group matches. Ordega said the team must prepare better for major competitions, especially with World Cup qualification at stake. Nigeria will now face South Africa in Casablanca, where victory is needed to reach FIFA’s inter-confederation play-offs later in the year.

What should better preparation have looked like before this tournament, especially after Nigeria missed the semi-finals for the first time?

Are you thinking mainly of earlier planning, stronger training, or better team coordination?

A 1-0 quarter-final loss to Cameroon is painful, and missing the semi-finals makes the preparation concerns feel more serious.

Poor preparation may be part of it, but one narrow loss should not automatically explain the entire WAFCON exit.

The key now is reviewing the preparation process early and addressing gaps before the next major competition.
