Nnadozie Happy as Super Falcons Begins WAFCON With Big Win Over Tunisia
Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has expressed her joy after Nigeria’s 3-0 win over Tunisia at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The victory marks the first time the Super Falcons have won their opening WAFCON match since the 2016 tournament held in Ghana.
Nnadozie, who had little to do during the game thanks to Nigeria’s solid defence, still stood out with her sharp ball distribution from the back. Also, she gave credit to Tunisia, acknowledging that they played well despite the loss.
“I feel really good, it’s a great start for us,” Nnadozie said after the match. “The Tunisians are not a bad team at all, we respect them. They gave a good fight, but today was our day, and we want to keep going like this.”
The match was Nnadozie’s 22nd appearance for the Super Falcons, and she is expected to retain her spot in goal for Nigeria’s next group game against Botswana on Wednesday.

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.”
