… vows to secure World Cup spotThe Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has apologised to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Nigerians following the Super Falcons’ failure to secure direct qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). “We recognise the disappointment this result has caused millions of Nigerians who passionately support and identify with the Super Falcons,” Gusau said. The NFF recalled the financial rewards, national honours, houses and reception given to the Super Falcons following their previous WAFCON triumph, as well as the government’s continued support for the Super Eagles. The 2026 WAFCON is serving as Africa’s qualifying competition for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, with the four semi-finalists earning direct qualification. The NFF thanked Nigerians for their support and urged them to continue backing the Super Falcons as the team pursues the remaining route to the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
