Madugu Raises Alarm Over Super Falcons’ Defence Ahead of Cameroon Clash

Madugu Raises Alarm Over Super Falcons’ Defence Ahead of Cameroon Clash — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, but coach Justin Madugu is concerned about the team’s defending. The Falcons lost 3-2 to Malawi, beat Zambia 1-0, and defeated Egypt 6-2 to finish the group stage with five goals conceded. It is their worst defensive record at this stage of a WAFCON tournament. Ahead of Sunday’s quarter-final against Cameroon in Rabat, Madugu said the team must stop conceding avoidable goals. He called on the players to stay focused throughout matches and reduce the errors that have exposed them defensively.

With Cameroon next, what defensive adjustment should Madugu prioritize after the group stage conceded five goals?

Absolutely, tightening the back line has to be priority one before Cameroon comes calling.

The Falcons showed strong attacking power against Egypt, but the goals conceded across the group stage explain why the coach is worried.

I get the concern, but one shaky area does not erase the attacking promise. The Cameroon clash will give a clearer picture.

The defensive concern is fair, but finishing the group with two wins suggests the team should not be judged only by the Malawi result.

Against Cameroon, tighter marking and better coordination when possession is lost could help protect the progress already made.
