Nnadozie acknowledged the challenges of winning a major continental tournament but emphasized that the team is ready to rise to the occasion.
“We are not under any pressure at all. We’ve worked so hard over the years to be where we are today.
There are so many teams working hard to be in this position, and respect to all of them. But there’s no pressure,” she told the Super Falcons media team.
The WAFCON 2026 finals will run from 17 March to 3 April, with the four semi-finalists earning qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
