Jennifer Echegini insists she cannot wait to represent Nigeria at the Womens Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON for the first time as they target a record 12th title.
The 24-year-old midfielder was part of the Super Falcons squad that reached the round of 16 at the 2023 Womens World Cup, while she also featured at the 2024 Olympic Games.
But Echegini has yet to experience the special atmosphere of playing at the continental showpiece and is ready to take the tournament by storm in Morocco next month.
The Netherlands-born star enjoyed a fine 2024-25 season with Paris Saint-Germain, contributing seven goals and four assists to help the team finish second behind Lyon in the French Division 1 Feminine.
Its very special, Echegini told CAFOnline. Ive been in major international competitions, but I havent played in an WAFCON yet. This will be my first time, and Im very excited.
