Ajibade Says Super Falcons Are Ready for Tough WAFCON Game Against South Africa
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade says the team is fired up and ready to take on South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in what promises to be a fierce WAFCON semifinal clash.
The Nigerian side, nine-time champions of the tournament, have shown both grit and flair in their run so far. Under coach Justine Madugu, they’ve not only netted the most goals in the competition; nine in total, but are also the only team yet to concede.
Though they had a shaky group stage, the Falcons bounced back with a dominant 5-0 win over Zambia’s Copper Queens in the quarter-final, reminding everyone why they’re a powerhouse in African women’s football. Now, the stage is set for another chapter in their rivalry with defending champions South Africa.
Ajibade, speaking ahead of the game, said these are the kind of high-stakes matches the team thrives on. “We live for games like this,” she said. “Reaching the semifinal is proof of the hard work we’ve put in. We aim to get better with every match.” The showdown is scheduled for 5 p.m. Nigerian time at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca.
It has been reported that Liverpool turned down the opportunity to sign Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior.
It can be noted that two teams have set their sights on the player, and since Liverpool has backed out, Arsenal are now interested in him.
Vinícius notably only has one year left on his Real Madrid contract and could possibly transfer to another team.
It can be noted that Karim Adeyemi, a Nigerian football player, just signed with Barcelona and shared his reason behind joining the team. He stated that it was because of Hansi Flick.
He shared how he wants to contribute to the club and admires the coach for making that possible.
“Hansi Flick is the main reason why I’m here. I have spoken a lot with him and have trusted him greatly from the very first moment. I’m willing to help to achieve the objectives.”
