Jennifer Echegini states that the Super Falcons are determined to win the championship at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. Justine Madugu’s team commenced the tournament with a 3-0 win against Tunisia last Sunday, and followed it up with a 1-0 victory over Botswana, securing their advance to the quarter-finals. Nigeria is set to face Algeria in their final Group B match at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca today, aiming to claim the top spot in their group. Echegini emphasized their readiness for any opponent in the WAFCON 2024 finals, stating, “Our current focus is on Algeria, and once that match is over, we will shift our attention to the next team, regardless of who it may be,” the Paris Saint-Germain player mentioned at a press conference in Casablanca. The Super Falcons played against Botswana on Thursday and had just two days to get ready for tonight’s match. They’ve also had to deal with tough weather conditions in Morocco. Echegini mentioned that they are unfazed by these challenges and are ready to overcome them. “We feel well-prepared and have been putting in a lot of effort.” “The path to training may not be perfect, but it’s something we must accept,” she continued. “Ultimately, we are all professionals, so we’re accustomed to situations like this. We each understand what is best for our bodies.” Thankfully, the match is scheduled for tomorrow night, allowing us time to recuperate and ensure we are prepared to play for a full ninety minutes.
