Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has expressed disappointment following the Confederation of African Football’s decision to postpone the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
CAF announced on Thursday that the tournament, originally scheduled to kick off in Morocco on 17 March, has been moved to July 2026.
The continental football body said the postponement was due to unforeseen circumstances.
Several of the 16 qualified teams had already begun preparations for the competition and took part in friendly matches during the recent international window.
Nigeria’s Super Falcons played two friendlies against Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses as part of their build up.
Ajibade reacted to the development on social media, sharing her frustration over the decision.
“African women’s football deserves better,” Ajibade wrote on X, adding a disappointed emoji.
The WAFCON 2026 finals are now scheduled to take place from 25 July to 16 August 2026, with CAF yet to confirm the host nation.
