The Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, Hulayat Omidiran, has urged the Super Falcons to quickly move past their disappointing exit from the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and concentrate on securing qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Omidiran’s call came after Nigeria suffered a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the WAFCON quarter-final in Morocco, a result that ended the Falcons’ bid to retain the continental title.
Omidiran, in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by the FCC spokesperson, Ademola Lawrence, appealed to the players and their coaches to remain united and focused ahead of their World Cup qualification playoff against South Africa.
The FCC chairman also commended the players and technical crew for their efforts despite the setback.
She urged the team not to allow the WAFCON disappointment to distract them from their larger objective of keeping Nigeria’s World Cup qualification hopes alive.
