Captain Rasheedat Ajibade has declared that the Super Falcons now want to be champions of the world after they have conquered Africa a record-extending tenth time.
On Saturday night in Rabat, the Super Falcons fought back from being two goals down to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 and claim a 10th WAFCON crown.
The Falcons have featured in all nine editions of the Women’s World Cup with their best performance being reaching the quarterfinal in 1999.
Two years ago, at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand they stretched two-time European champions England to a penalty shootout in the second round.
MVP of the 2024 WAFCON Ajibade has now said the team can aim for the biggest prize in women’s football in the world, the World Cup.
“We are not content to rest on our laurels. Our vision is bold. We want to become the best women’s football team in the world,” a bullish Ajibade declared.
“Let us inspire a mindset that sees no limit, that dares to dream big and that unites in pursuit of excellence.
“With the right support and with the right condition, we can have the same playing field as our competitors.
“The Super Falcons are ready to soar higher and the sky is just the beginning.”
