Super Falcons head coach Justin Madugu has officially kick-started preparations for the WAFCON 2026 qualifiers, as Nigeria gets set to face Benin Republic in a two-legged encounter.
Madugu, 61, who recently led NigeriaâÂÂs womenâÂÂs team to a historic WAFCON triumph in Morocco, said he is leaving nothing to chance despite the teamâÂÂs recent success. His leadership not only delivered NigeriaâÂÂs continental victory but also earned him a Ballon dâÂÂOr nomination.

He further hinted at introducing new players to blend with the existing squad, stressing that squad depth and early preparation will be key to sustaining NigeriaâÂÂs dominance in African womenâÂÂs football.
