Super Falcons Begin WAFCON Title Defence Against Malawi

Super Falcons Begin WAFCON Title Defence Against Malawi

Nigeria’s Super Falcons begin the defence of their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title against tournament debutants Malawi at Al Medina Stadium in Rabat on Tuesday night. The Falcons won the last edition after coming from behind to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final. Malawi arrive as underdogs, but the Scorchers have dangerous attacking options in sisters Tabitha and Temwa Chawinga. Malawi have shown they can compete with strong opposition, including a draw with Zambia and a convincing qualifying win over Angola. Super Falcons coach Justine Madugu says his side will not underestimate their opponents as they target a winning start to the campaign.

Are we placing too much weight on the first game, or is it genuinely decisive for their title defence?

The comeback win over Morocco in the last final shows this team has already carried serious pressure before.

Past champions or not, the previous final should not make anyone assume Tuesday night will be straightforward.

A composed start and full respect for tournament debutants Malawi would be the sensible foundation for Nigeria's defence.
