African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 WAFCON 2026⚽⚽.

[Mayor of ogba]

WAFCON is going on and I have not seen by discussion about the tournament here. Zambia beat Egypt 6-0 yesterday and Malawi bet Nigeria 2-3 yesterday. And today there are two matches. Ghana vs Cape Verde by 7:00:00 and Cameron vs Mli by 9:00:00. Nigeria is the defending champions of the Women African Cup of Nations WAFCON.
Nigeria defense was very poor yesterday and the positioning of the goalkeeper was bad and that created a lot of chances for Malawi women to score more goals. Zambia is leading the group stage. Nigerian captain Ajibade said, they will do will to win their next matches and she apologized. Nigeria next match is with Zambia which is the leading team in the group stage.

A lot of people don't take women's football seriously the way they take men's football seriously, that's why you haven't seen any discussion about the ongoing Women African Cup of Nations. The Super Falcon let us down against Malawi, after they broke the deadlock in the 73th minute and doubled their lead to 2-0 in the 79th minute I believe they will walk away with the three points but I don't know what they were thinking that Malawi women had to score three goals in 15 minutes to come from two goals down to win the match 3-2.

Thanks for this highlights, I don't know why many of our gamblers don't really focus much on the Women's African Cup of Nations, unlike the way they put more attention on the AFCON, but it is good to see that our Nigerian women are doing well in this and could also make us proud as always, I wonder how Egypt was given 6 goals, what is happening with their women over there, are they too religious to be involved in sport activities or their only part of those women that belong to the kitchen and the other room, 6 goals is way too far.

Women football isn't as interesting as the men, and no gambler will have the passion to bet on women football competition because I am clueless about their performance and don't even know any big name in the teams. I hardly watch their games instead, of me to bet on such match, I will prefer to play Slot.

I'm on the same page with you, I've been a football lover in my entire life, I watch and I play as well, but I've not really sat down and watched female football matches from the beginning to the end, I always stop halfway because of lack of interest and their inability to impress my eyes, that's why I respect journalist a lot, especially football journalist, because regardless of how uninteresting the game might be, they still stick to watching it and still giving their remark. I believe there should be some sports that should be exclusively for men.

Am also part of the people that don’t take women’s football serious. I don’t always watch it because it’s always boring to me, I can’t just imagine myself seat and be watching women football. I heard the super eagles lost their first match, and people complained about their poor defense in the match. Super eagles are having quality players, at least have watched how some of them played in the past, and how they performed, they play better, and am sure they going to improve in their next match.

Their next match is going to be with Zambia, am sure they going to work on their performance, since they lost their first match against Malawi, and I will try to watch the match.

Thanks for the link, i was even searching for it because with football channels watching the WAFCON highlight is hard. Nigeria match was unbelievable and I was even pitying Malawi women for meeting the wrong country but it turn out that Malawi overpowered them and Nigeria goalkeeper was not helpful because the first and second goals was all her faults, the way she was running was as if she didn't had much training before the tournament but however they should make up to this lost from there next match if not the best winner will become a group stage loser. Meanwhile the current match we  have is Senegal and they're wining 1:0 to Kenya.

Poor Kenya! Five goals conceded, with no goal from them in this tournament.  My honest opinion is that they are already out. They have to fix their defence issues and goal scoring challenges. They had chances of making the game even and also sharing the spoils tonight but they failed to do so.

Algeria will have to fight against Morocco ladies. What I saw in the first fixture, Morocco will tear Algeria in smaller parts.

Today was Kenya second lost, they conceded four goals at the first and this match they conceded one goal so obviously they are no longer on the tournament because from three countries they have lost two and even if they squeeze out three points from Algeria they are going to face they wouldn't recover on the group with it. You were right Morocco actually did break Algeria but it was one goal they got and they have six point but however Algeria still got a chance for the second in the group if they can win one more match from Kenya then the six points will give them what they want.

Nigerian ladies seemed fatigued and without fitness. I don't know what plans they have for the next game but then, they better sit their asses down and beat their next opponents. I'm yet to confirm who they facing though. Most important the backline, I saw no organisation from them.

Their performance wasn't encouraging their first leg allowing Malawi to win them. I saw lapses at the defence maybe as asumpta didn't feature this year it seems obvious that no one could be able to fill in the gap. But I believe the coach has taken cognisance of the mistakes been made by the players to effectively make some changes next leg so that such would not happen again. They will have to defend their title otherwise they give it up to another.

Nigeria is currently 3rd position in their group.
In their next match they will be playing Egypt. If they lose to Egypt they will fall to the 4th position and may be in their way out.
However, I believe in the girls and what they are capable of and I hope to see them showcase it in their next game.
Goodluck to them.

Both team are not even convincing for me to want to give the best performance in that match. I don’t know what the super falcons were doing to concede three goals within that short period of time. For the super falcons to have also come back with two goals in that short time, it also shows how weak the Malawian team is and can conceded more goals if the super falcons were given more time in this match. This is a poor start to the super falcons, we hope they prevail in their next two game of the group stage in order to get a qualification to the next round of the competition. They are the best female team in Africa, we expect nothing less than victory of winning the competition.

It is obvious that Nigeria dropped down in group stage rankings as a result of their loss to Malawi in their first leg. This is not what the coach should take lightly as the Nigerian female team is known for their winning enthusiasm and here it happened like they are just relaxed. It is not up to 6 month's they claimed their tenth WAFCON title and that should make them eager to defend their title.
Anyways, it is still not late as the tournament just began and we hope they put in their best of best performances to winning their next match with Egypt so they have the hope of getting through to the next round.

Just a match into the tournament with two more to go for the group stage, I believe it was a set back for them as they only lost with a goal, it's something to cheer about, with that loss they will be eager for a win in their match match. Hopefully, next match will yield something positive for them, that team is so resilient and I believe they will make it out from that group to the next stage.

The super falcons have always been the best in this competition from time to time, so one lost to Malawi can't be used to judge their performance. they still have few outstandings left and if they can be able to win all of them, then they have a higher chances of qualifying from their group. There next match is against Egypt, judging by their performance,the super falcons are the favourite to win the match. If they can walk away with all three points then probably Malawi or Zambia next match ends in a draw or defeats, superfalcons can fight their way easily to the top of the table.

Pressure is now on the Super Falcons because of this painful loss to an underdog. I am not too bothered; after all, Cape Verde held Spain to a draw in their first game. Yet Spain ended up winning the competition. Zambia whitewashed Egypt by six goals, which shows that the North African side might be weak. But this shouldn't in any case mean that the Falcons should underestimate them. A win against Egypt and, hopefully, a draw or win against Zambia might take us to the next phase.
