Ajibade Leads Super Falcons to WAFCON Final After Tough Win Over South Africa
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has shared her thoughts on Nigeria’s intense 2-1 win over South Africa in the WAFCON semi-final. Ajibade played a key role in the victory, scoring the opening goal from the penalty spot just before halftime. Her performance earned her the Woman of the Match award—her third in the tournament so far.
Speaking after the match, the 25-year-old acknowledged the challenge, saying, “We knew it would be tough. Every match in this tournament has tested us. South Africa is a strong team, and we’ve met them on several big occasions, from Olympic qualifiers to WAFCON, so we came prepared for anything.”
The win also snapped South Africa’s 15-match unbeaten run in the WAFCON finals. With this victory, Nigeria now heads to the final, where they’ll face host nation Morocco on Saturday in Rabat. Morocco booked their spot after edging past Ghana in a dramatic penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after extra time.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
