🦅 Undervalued & Underprepared: Super Falcons face WAFCON pressure amid NFF crisis

While the Super Eagles' World Cup absence dominates headlines, Nigeria's women’s national team is facing its own crisis due to the NFF's administrative failures.

Africa's most successful women's side has been left "underprepared and undervalued" by the outgoing board just a month before the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The stakes could not be higher, as next month's tournament doubles as the crucial qualification pathway for the 2027 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

After delivering a silver medal heartbreak at the men's AFCON 2023 and failing all youth benchmarks, the NFF board's handling of the upcoming WAFCON will be the final baseline test of their heavily criticized tenure.
