NFF apologises for Super Falcons’ WAFCON performance

NFF apologises for Super Falcons’ WAFCON performance

The Nigeria Football Federation has formally apologised to President Tinubu and Nigerians after the Super Falcons failed to qualify directly for the 2027 World Cup, following Sunday’s shock quarter-final exit at the hands of Cameroon at WAFCON. NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau said the federation — quote — “shares the disappointment” but is not giving up.

Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie echoed that resolve, posting on Instagram: “One more huddle to keep the dream alive.”

Nigeria now face South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in a decisive play-off on Thursday. A loss would mean missing the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time since the tournament began in 1991.
