WAFCON 2024: Chiamaka Nnadozie Urges Super Falcons to Stay Focused in ‘Tricky’ Group B

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has called for full commitment and focus from her teammates as Nigeria prepares for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), warning against complacency in what she described as a “tricky” group.
The nine-time African champions are drawn in Group B alongside Algeria, Tunisia, and Botswana — a group that some have labelled as relatively manageable. However, Nnadozie has cautioned that appearances can be deceiving.
“People might think it’s a manageable group, but the reality is very different,” she told CAF Media. “Women’s football has grown tremendously. Every team is getting better, working harder, and investing in development.”
Nigeria is aiming to bounce back after falling short in the 2022 edition, where they were knocked out in the semi-finals by hosts Morocco. Nnadozie emphasized that the team must not underestimate any opponent, citing past tournament upsets as a reminder of how competitive the landscape has become.
“This group is tricky, and we must treat it with the seriousness it deserves,” she said. “Qualification won’t be handed to us—we’ll have to earn it through hard work and discipline.”
As the Super Falcons gear up to reclaim their dominance on the continental stage, Nnadozie’s message serves as a rallying call for focus and unity in the face of growing competition across African women’s football.
