Falode Backs Super Falcons to Recover From Shock Malawi Defeat at WAFCON 2026

NFF Executive Committee member Aisha Falode has urged Nigerians to continue supporting the Super Falcons after their surprise 3-2 loss to WAFCON debutants Malawi in their opening Group C match in Morocco. Falode said one disappointing result should not erase the team’s record, quality or ambition to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup and reclaim the WAFCON title. She added that the players and technical crew understand the disappointment and must respond with courage and discipline. Nigeria now face crucial Group C matches against Zambia on 1 August and Egypt on 5 August. The results will determine whether the 10-time African champions can revive their campaign.
