Super Falcons forward, Rinsola Babajide, has said Nigeria are fully prepared for their crucial 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Cameroon.
The defending champions will face the Indomitable Lionesses at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca on Sunday, with a semi-final berth and qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup at stake.
Nigeria had a difficult start to the tournament but recovered strongly to finish second in Group C and secure their place in the knockout stage.
Cameroon, on the other hand, topped Group D and remain unbeaten heading into the last-eight encounter.
Babajide believes the Super Falcons have enough knowledge of their opponents to handle the challenge and continue their quest to retain the continental title.
“We are very excited to face Cameroon. We have played against them a couple of times before, we know their strengths, we are prepared, and ready to face them,” Babajide told the Super Falcons Show.
The forward also described the encounter as one of the biggest games of her career, stressing the importance of securing Nigeria’s place at the next World Cup.
“I would say it is biggest game of my career because the World Cup is the biggest thing, and everyone want to play at the World Cup.
“We know why we are here, we need to get the ticket to the World Cup. We are focused, and ready for the task ahead.
“The goal remain the same. Whether it is defending our title or qualifying for the World Cup, we want to win and make Nigeria proud.”
