Rasheedat Ajibade Rallies Nigerians to Support Super Falcons' WAFCON 2024 Title Quest


As the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) unfolds in Morocco, Nigerian forward Rasheedat Ajibade is calling on fans across the country to unite behind the Super Falcons in their pursuit of a record-extending 10th continental title.

The Super Falcons, Africa’s most decorated women’s football team, are determined to reassert their dominance on the continent. With the tournament already underway, the squad—led by head coach Justine Madugu—is eyeing the championship trophy, last won in 2018 after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over South Africa.

Ajibade, a central figure in the team’s resurgence, emphasized the vital role of fan support. “We need the energy and enthusiasm of Nigerians to push us to the top,” she said. “This is more than a game; it's about representing a nation and making our people proud.”

Having undergone a generational shift since their last title, the Super Falcons boast a dynamic mix of experienced players and emerging talents. Ajibade, known for her electrifying pace and goal-scoring instinct, has grown into a leadership role and remains one of the team’s most influential figures on and off the pitch.

Despite fierce competition from the defending champions Banyana Banyana of South Africa, hosts Morocco, and several rising teams, Ajibade remains confident in Nigeria’s prospects. “We’ve prepared thoroughly and we’re ready to face any challenge. Every match is an opportunity to show our strength and unity.”

The Super Falcons' legacy at WAFCON is unmatched, having lifted the trophy nine times. Their dominance has inspired generations of female athletes and positioned Nigeria as a powerhouse in African women’s football.

Now, as the journey to a 10th title begins, the team is relying on the voices and passion of Nigerians everywhere. Whether watching from home, online, or in the stadium, every show of support counts.

The momentum is building, and with Ajibade leading the charge, the Super Falcons are poised to chase glory once again at WAFCON 2024.
