Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has insisted Nigeria cannot afford to lose focus at any stage of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations as the defending champions begin their final preparations for the tournament in Morocco, The PUNCH reports.
The Brighton goalkeeper, who was among the first players to arrive at the team’s training camp in Casablanca on Monday, said the Super Falcons would approach the competition one game at a time as they chase a record-extending 11th continental title and qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
“We will take it one match at a time because we cannot afford to stumble at any stage as a result of over-confidence. We will be focused squarely on the double targets of FIFA World Cup ticket and retaining the trophy,” Nnadozie told NFF Media.
The 2026 edition of WAFCON will feature 16 teams for the first time, but the reigning African Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year believes the expanded format will only make the competition more competitive without altering Nigeria’s approach.
