Super Falcons Captain Rasheedat Ajibade Says WAFCON Victory Rewards Still Unpaid Super Falcons skipper Rasheedat Ajibade has revealed that the team is yet to receive the promised rewards for their historic win at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). Despite a public pledge by the Nigerian government to gift each player $100,000, three-bedroom apartments, national honors, and additional donations from the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Ajibade confirmed: > “We’ve not received anything yet.” The delay has sparked disappointment among fans and sports stakeholders who were eager to see the champions honored for clinching their 10th continental title. Ajibade, however, remains optimistic, urging for sustained investment in women’s football to place Nigeria firmly on the global stage. She dedicated the team’s victory to every young Nigerian girl chasing her dreams and stressed the need for proper support to keep women’s sports thriving. While the Super Falcons wait for the promises to be fulfilled, their commitment, resilience, and pride as ambassadors for Nigerian women in sports remain unshaken. #SuperFalcons #RasheedatAjibade #WAFCON2024 #NigerianFootball #WomenInSports #EqualRecognition #PayOurChampions

The nine-time champions began their campaign with a commanding 3-0 win over Tunisia, thanks to stellar goals from Asisat Oshoala, Rinsola Babajide, and Chinwendu Ihezuo. With no injury concerns and strong momentum, Coach Justin Madugu’s side is locked in on “Mission X” — their quest for a 10th continental title. “We remain focused and believe that victory over Botswana is a huge possibility,” Madugu said during a pre-match briefing. “We're taking it one match at a time.” Botswana, who edged Algeria 1-0 in their opening match, are also riding high and believe they can upset the odds. Coach Alex Malete insists his team won’t be intimidated by Nigeria’s pedigree. “The belief is stronger than the pressure,” Malete said confidently. This is only the second WAFCON meeting between both sides. Nigeria defeated Botswana 2-0 in their debut outing back in 2022. Match Details Venue: Larbi Zaouli Stadium, Casablanca Date: Thursday, July 10 Kickoff: 8:00 p.m. (Nigeria time) With group qualification within reach, all eyes are on the Super Falcons tonight.
