Super Falcons Backed to Defeat Morocco in WAFCON Final Match
Ghana’s Black Queens head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, believes Nigeria’s Super Falcons have what it takes to overcome hosts Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria holds a strong legacy in the tournament, having won it nine times, and they continue to dominate with some of the finest talents in African women’s football.
Björkegren, whose team fell 3-1 to the Super Falcons in a friendly ahead of the tournament, says he sees more depth in the Nigerian squad. “It should be a great match. Both sides have their strengths, but I think Nigeria has more quality overall,” he said.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
