Nigerian football legend Stella Mbachu has delivered a bold prediction ahead of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), confidently backing the Super Falcons to win every single match and lift their record-extending 10th title. Speaking during an exclusive interview with Brila FM on Sunday, June 29, 2025, the former striker said the team’s current form and hunger for victory will make them unstoppable in Morocco.
Mbachu’s comments followed Nigeria’s emphatic 3-1 victory over Ghana’s Black Queens in an international friendly played over the weekend. The win, coming just days after the Falcons forced a goalless draw against Portugal in Lisbon, has been widely described as a massive morale booster ahead of the continental showdown.
With the tournament kicking off this week in Morocco, the Super Falcons find themselves in Group B alongside Tunisia, Botswana, and Algeria. Their opening match is scheduled for Sunday, July 6, at the iconic Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca, where they will face Tunisia.
Mbachu, known for her fearless playing style during her days with the national team, expressed total confidence in coach Justine Madugu and the current crop of players. “They have the strength, the experience, and the hunger. They will win every game, from the group stage to the final. No team will stop them this year,” she declared.
The Falcons remain Africa’s most successful women’s football team, having won nine WAFCON titles. However, they will face stiff competition from defending champions South Africa, hosts Morocco, Zambia, and a rejuvenated Ghanaian side all hungry for continental glory.
Football analysts say the Falcons’ mix of experienced stars like Asisat Oshoala and young talents like Deborah Abiodun gives them a competitive edge. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has also confirmed that all logistics, welfare packages, and training support are in place to help the team succeed.
As the countdown to kickoff continues, Nigerian fans across social media platforms are rallying behind the Super Falcons, flooding timelines with hashtags like #WAFCON2024, #SuperFalconsToGlory, and #BringItHome. With expectations soaring, all eyes now turn to Casablanca as Nigeria begins their hunt for another historic title.
