Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala has offered a playful nod to the ongoing discussions around the team’s preparations ahead of the upcoming Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers, Soccernet.ng reports.
Multiple reports revealed that the reigning WAFCON champions will not be having a preparatory match ahead of the qualifiers.
The Super Falcons, reigning WAFCON champions, are facing serious preparation challenges ahead of the 2026 tournament, which doubles as qualifiers for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Zero Friendlies For Super Falcons: What Has Happened
Reports indicate the team will not begin proper preparations until February 2026, just days before the tournament kicks off in March.
Plans for friendly matches during the current international window have collapsed, with agreed opponents reportedly pulling out at the last minute.
In a tweet, Osasu stated:
“Get the message that @NGSuper_Falcons captain @Rasheedat08, @ashplumptre and @rinss98 are sending you, @thenff – they are NOT happy with the lack of friendlies. You are really messing WAFCON preparations up, due to your incompetence.”

“X now requires passcode to access messages …… wawu. I no dey check messages at all …….. na just small rough play, some rts n replies and commot I dey always do….lmao inbox yapa, congrats from WAFCON”
Many insiders interpret her lighthearted post as a stylish dig at the lack of friendlies, which shows the squad’s frustrations without overtly criticising the NFF.
