Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has praised her side's dominant 3‑0 victory over Tunisia in their WAFCON opener, declaring the win a positive start and setting her sights on lifting the continental trophy. The clean sheet marks their first opening-day success at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations since 2016, with fans buoyed by the convincing performance.

Displaying calm composure between the posts, Nnadozie also impressed with her precise ball distribution. She was quick to commend the Tunisian side, acknowledging their resilience before affirming "I feel so good, it was a good one, a good beginning for us… we hope to continue like this".

As Nigeria bids to reclaim their ninth WAFCON title, Nnadozie’s leadership at the back and growing confidence could prove pivotal. With the next match against Botswana looming, she remains determined, believing the Falcons can secure Morocco 2025 glory by replicating this intensity throughout the tournament.

Editorial

We share in the optimism sweeping through Nigerian football following that commanding win. Nnadozie’s performance symbolises a renewed clarity of purpose a departure from past disappointments.

Her praise for opponents reveals a balanced mindset respect for with self-belief. We believe maintaining that equilibrium—ambition underpinned by humility will be decisive as the tournament unfolds. The defence's solidity and the team's collective resolve reflect thorough preparation. Mental strength bred through discipline is what separates champions from contenders.

We anticipate the Super Falcons will build on this momentum, carrying that assertiveness and unity into every match. With Nnadozie anchoring the backline and a cohesive side in front, Nigeria appear ready to reclaim their place at the top.
