Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has urged the Nigeria Football Federation NFF to ensure the team receives full backing as they prepare for next year's Women's Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON in Morocco, Soccernet.ng reports .
Nigeria will begin their quest for a record-extending 10th WAFCON title on July 6, 2025, with an opening Group B match against Tunisia at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca.
They will also face Algeria and Botswana in what is expected to be a competitive group phase.
While Rasheedat Ajibade remains confident about the squad's readiness and ambition, she didn't shy away from calling for improved support from the football authorities - a message that echoes ongoing frustrations among players over poor treatment and lack of adequate preparation in previous tournaments.
