Esther Okoronkwo, the Super Falcons’ star, is confident that Nigeria will claim their 11th title at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Following a 3-1 aggregate victory over neighboring Benin Republic, Nigeria, the competition’s defending champion, qualified for the tournament.
Okoronkwo believes the Super Falcons can make history in Morocco once more after the team secured a ticket to the competition scheduled for the following year.
“Yes. Everything is possible for sure with Nigeria, according to the AFC Toronto forward, who is well-known for her assists, on Thursday for Channels Television’s Sports Tonight .
“We’re not going there because we don’t want to win,” the statement read. We are certain that we will win the 11th WAFCON title.
With a 3-1 aggregate win over Benin, the Super Falcons qualify for the 2026 World Football Championship.
The Super Falcons won the title in July when they came from behind to defeat Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses 3-2.
In that game, Okoronkwo scored a goal and added two assists, earning her the award for African Women Player of the Year along with Rasheedat Ajibade, the team’s captain.
