Madugu declares Nigeria’s intentions to beat Morocco for WAFCON title

Nigeria women’s national team head coach Justine Madugu has declared their intentions to beat Morocco in the final and lift the CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

The Super Falcons qualified for the final with an unbeaten run after beating South Africa 2-1 in the semifinals. They will now come up against Morocco, who overpowered Ghana 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular and extra time.

‎“We thank God for making it to the final. I want to assure you that we are not going to relent or take our eyes off the ball. Our focus is on lifting the trophy in Rabat on Saturday,” Madugu told thenff.com.

“We knew South Africa, as Cup holders, would be difficult but we were ready for them. I am glad that our tactics paid off.

“As I said before the tournament, we will always assess the opposition first and then determine what tactics would suit us better and serve our purpose. We have done these in our previous five games and we will do the same in the final.”

The final against Morocco will be played at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat on Saturday.
