Super Falcons Get Full Squad Boost Ahead of WAFCON 2026 as Abiodun and Monday Join Camp
The Super Falcons have received a timely boost ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after Deborah Abiodun and Gift Monday reported to the team’s camp at the Marriott Hotel in Casablanca.
Their arrival gives head coach Justine Madugu all 25 invited players, with preparations now entering the final stretch before the tournament kicks off.
A travel setback ruled both players out of Nigeria’s 2‑1 friendly win over Tanzania’s Twiga Stars on Thursday, which was the team’s final test before the start of the competition.
Abiodun featured for the Super Falcons at the previous WAFCON, while Monday narrowly missed out on making the squad for that tournament.
The 10‑time African champions will leave Casablanca for Rabat later today, July 24, where they will play all their Group C fixtures.
Nigeria begin the defence of their WAFCON crown against Malawi’s Scorchers on Tuesday, July 28, before facing Zambia and Egypt in their remaining group matches.
The tournament itself will officially commence on Sunday, July 26. On that date, the hosts, Morocco will take on Kenya at 9 p.m., following the clash between Algeria and Senegal at 6 p.m. (WAT).
