Executive Committee Member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Aisha Falode, has thrown her weight behind the Super Falcons to overcome their initial setback against Malawi in the defence of the Women Africa Cup of Nations.

The 10-time African champions lost their opening group match of the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco 2-3 to Malawi.

But Ms. Falode who also doubles as a FIFA Media Committee member, insisted yesterday that the Super Falcons will overcome the setback and go ahead to make Nigeria proud again.

“The Super Falcons have earned the trust, admiration, and unwavering respect of Nigerians through decades of excellence, resilience, and an enduring commitment to our nation’s colours.

“They are champions not only because of the trophies they have won, but because of the character, courage, and determination they have consistently displayed every time they step onto the pitch in service of Nigeria,” began Falode.
