‘1-0 Is Enough!’ – Chawinga’s Light-Hearted Plea to Falcons Before WAFCON Opener
Malawi captain Tabitha Chawinga poked fun at Nigeria’s dominance ahead of their Group C opener at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. In a playful exchange with Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala, Chawinga begged the reigning champions not to hand her side another heavy defeat. During a pre-tournament panel featuring top African stars, Oshoala teased the Chawinga sisters to calm down, prompting Tabitha to reply: “Super Falcons need to calm down. Don’t give us 5-0 please. 1-0 is enough.” The friendly banter delighted fans across the continent and underscored Nigeria’s record as ten-time WAFCON champions. The Falcons, defending their title, face Malawi in Rabat on 28 July, with Zambia and Egypt completing Group C. While jokes still fly, both sides know the stakes are high as the Super Falcons aim for an unprecedented eleventh crown, and Malawi target a historic upset.
