Nigeria’s Super Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, has expressed her team’s determination to make history at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. Ajibade emphasized that the team is focused on winning a record-extending 10th continental title, and they will continue to work hard to achieve their goal.
The Super Falcons have been making waves in the tournament, with a dominant 5-0 win over Zambia in the quarterfinals. Ajibade played a crucial role in the match, scoring two assists and being named Woman of the Match. She revealed that the boastful comments from the Zambian camp before the match served as motivation for her team.
“We have to keep working hard, keep the focus high, keep the energy high in the team, and ensure we’re giving our best every game,” Ajibade said. “We want to keep making history for ourselves as players because we want to set a standard for those coming behind us.” This mindset reflects the team’s commitment to excellence and their desire to leave a lasting legacy in African women’s football.
The Super Falcons’ victory over Zambia was impressive, with Ajibade’s leadership and skill playing a significant part in the team’s success. Her two assists in the match showcased her talent and experience, and she was instrumental in the team’s dominant performance.
As the team eyes a 10th WAFCON title, Ajibade’s words reflect the team’s confidence and determination. With their sights set on the semifinals, the Super Falcons will face the winner of the South Africa-Senegal match. The team’s next challenge will test their resolve, but with Ajibade’s leadership and the team’s talent, they are well-equipped to progress further in the tournament.
