Super Falcons head coach Justine Madugu has assured that his players will give their all when they face the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon.

The defending champions will battle their perennial rivals in a quarter-final clash at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca on Sunday.

A place in the semi-finals will be at stake, with the winner also securing qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Madugu acknowledged the significance of the encounter, stressing that his players are fully aware of what is at stake and are determined to produce their best performance against the Cameroonians.

The coach expressed confidence in the team’s readiness for the crucial encounter as they continue their quest to successfully defend their title.

“It’s an important match because we all know what is at stake, the ticket for the World Cup. After the World Cup ticket, you have the semi-finals, which will also enable you continue your quest for retaining the trophy. We’ll go in there fully prepared, give it our best and ensure that we carry the day.”

The Super Falcons conceded five goals during the group stage, and Madugu admitted that tightening up his side’s defence will be crucial ahead of the encounter.

“There can always be a starting point when you don’t concede goals and we’re believing it will start from the quarter-final stage. We have been working to ensure that those mistakes and loopholes that caused those goals are corrected. Yes, we conceded goals, but we equally score goals, so it’s still positive for us,” added Madugu.
