Falcons remain Africa’s best as Nigeria lasses rise to 36th in FIFA rankings

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have climbed to 36th place in the latest FIFA Women’s World Rankings, tightening their grip as Africa’s top ranked women’s national team. The Justine Madugu led side moved up one spot from 37th after a 3 1 victory over Cameroon in a friendly match last month. Despite limited fixtures, the result was enough to boost their global standing. The ten time African champions continue to lead the continent comfortably. South Africa’s Banyana Banyana are second in Africa and 58th in the world, followed by Ghana’s Black Queens in 59th, Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in 62nd and Zambia in 64th to complete Africa’s top five. Nigeria’s rise comes in spite of recent inactivity caused by the late cancellation of planned friendlies against Cape Verde. Before that setback, the Falcons had split results in a two match friendly series against […]

Ajibade blasts NFF over poor Falcons WAFCON plans

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has criticised the Nigeria Football Federation over what she called poor preparation for upcoming tournaments, including the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. In a series of posts on her Instagram story on Wednesday, she expressed frustration that the NFF had not officially communicated key details such as the opening date of the national team camp and confirmed friendly matches for the April international window. Ajibade shared a screenshot of a chat that appeared to show an NFF official informally telling her that camp would open on April 11. She condemned the lack of formal notice, saying players were still in the dark about camp logistics and preparatory games for the window running from April 7 to 18. She reminded the federation that the team is not only […]

Asisat Oshoala: ‘I once dreamed of being a lawyer, not a footballer’

Super Falcons and Bay FC striker Asisat Oshoala has revealed that her childhood dream was to become a lawyer, not a professional footballer. She said she was an intelligent student and her parents strongly pushed her towards education and a legal career. Oshoala explained that as a young girl growing up in Ikorodu, Lagos, she loved football so much that she often had to sneak out or lie just to go and play with friends. Her parents initially opposed the idea of her playing football seriously and punished her several times for choosing the game over schoolwork. “I wanted to be a lawyer,” she recalled, adding that she only began to consider football as a real career when she saw how good she was on the pitch and how quickly her talent was attracting attention. The turning point came after […]

Super Falcons eye revenge in second friendly against Cameroon

Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to face Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses again on Tuesday in Yaounde, aiming to bounce back from a narrow 1–0 defeat in their first pre WAFCON 2026 friendly. Both teams are using the two–match series, played at the Military Stadium in the Cameroonian capital, to fine tune tactics and assess players ahead of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. In Saturday’s opener, the Falcons created several chances but were undone by a late goal, leaving head coach Justin Madugu and his players determined to respond with a stronger performance in the second game.

Super Falcons drop to 37th but stay top in Africa

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have slipped one place to 37th in the latest FIFA Women’s World Ranking but remain the highest ranked team in Africa. The ranking, released on Thursday, reflects movements on the global table after the last international window.​ The Super Falcons were previously 36th in the world before dropping to 37th, ending a run of several months in that position. Despite the slight fall, they still lead the African standings ahead of South Africa, Ghana, Zambia and Morocco, who complete the continent’s top five teams.​ Reports link the dip in ranking partly to the team’s inactivity during the most recent FIFA women’s international break. Nigeria had earlier secured qualification for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations with a 3–1 aggregate win over Benin Republic in October, leaving them without competitive games in the last window.​ Nigeria’s strong […]
