Former Super Falcons striker Rita Nwadike has expressed confidence that Nigeria can retain the Women's Africa Cup of Nations title and further cement their dominance in African women's football.
The multiple WAFCON winner believes the Super Falcons possess the quality, experience and technical strength needed to secure a record-extending 11th continental crown.
Nwadike urged the players to approach every match with discipline, determination and the winning mentality that has defined the Super Falcons for decades.
“The Super Falcons remain the biggest team in women’s football in Africa. They have quality players, experienced professionals and a good technical crew. I believe they can successfully defend the title if they stay focused and play as a team,” she said on the MTN Super Falcons Show.
She also called on Nigerians to throw their full support behind the team throughout the tournament, stressing that the players would need the encouragement and prayers of the nation in their pursuit of another continental triumph.
“Representing Nigeria comes with great responsibility, but I know these girls understand what is at stake. They should believe in themselves, give everything on the pitch and make the country proud. Nigerians should continue to support and encourage them,” Nwadike added.
