Seven Super Falcons Land in Casablanca Ahead of WAFCON 2024 – Eyes on Tenth Title
As preparations ramp up for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), seven Super Falcons players have touched down in Casablanca, Morocco, joining the national team’s training base ahead of the prestigious tournament.
Among the early arrivals are U.S.-based stars:
🇳🇬 Asisat Oshoala (Bay FC)
🇳🇬 Michelle Alozie (Houston Dash)
🇳🇬 Deborah Abiodun (University of Pittsburgh)
They’re joined by:
Chinwendu Ihezuo
Folashade Ijamilusi
Esther Okoronkwo
Chioma Okafor, a new invitee aiming to impress before final squad selection.
These arrivals follow the Super Falcons’ 0-0 friendly draw against Portugal in Lisbon, where 17 players were available for selection. The rest of the squad is expected to regroup by Wednesday in Casablanca.
Next up? A classic clash against archrivals Ghana’s Black Queens in another warm-up fixture scheduled for Sunday, which promises to be a high-stakes dress rehearsal for both sides.
💭 Opinion: Signs of Serious Intent
With nine WAFCON titles already in the bag, Nigeria’s Super Falcons aren’t just defending champions — they are continental royalty. The early arrival of top internationals like Oshoala and Alozie speaks volumes about the team’s commitment and readiness to chase a record-extending tenth crown.
The blend of experience, emerging talent, and new faces like Chioma Okafor gives fans reason to believe in another dominant campaign. With competition growing fiercer across Africa, especially from South Africa, Morocco, and Zambia, the Falcons know they must be at their sharpest — both tactically and mentally.
This camp in Casablanca might just be the beginning of another golden run.
