Nigeria’s quest for continental glory has officially begun, with the Super Falcons opening their training camp in Casablanca, Morocco, ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The first batch of players has reported to camp as preparations gather pace for Africa’s biggest women’s football tournament, with several of the team’s biggest stars already in place.

Captain Rasheedat Ajibade headlines the early arrivals alongside reigning CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year Chiamaka Nnadozie and six-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year Asisat Oshoala.

Also present in camp are defenders Glory Ogbonna, Oluwatosin Demehin, and Rofiat Imuran, while midfielders Christy Ucheibe and Shukurat Oladipo have also joined the squad.

Fatima Oloko completes the list of players who have arrived for the opening phase of preparations.

The early arrivals offer an encouraging boost for the Super Falcons’ technical crew, allowing the team to begin training sessions and gradually build intensity ahead of the tournament.

More members of the squad are expected to arrive in the coming days as the camp reaches full strength.

Their arrival will provide the coaching staff with the opportunity to fine-tune tactics, improve team chemistry, and assess player fitness before Nigeria begins its WAFCON campaign.

As the most successful nation in the history of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Falcons will once again carry the weight of expectation when the competition kicks off.

With a blend of experienced internationals and emerging talents assembling in Morocco, preparations are now firmly underway as Nigeria sets its sights on reclaiming continental supremacy.

The road to WAFCON 2026 has officially begun, and for the Super Falcons, every training session in Casablanca marks another step toward chasing yet another African title.
