Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon head coach Valentine Nguele has played down today’s WAFCON quarterfinal clash with Super Falcons of Nigeria, stating it is not the biggest game for her team in this year’s tournament.
WAFCON Semifinal, World Cup Ticket On The Line
After topping Group D, Cameroon will take on defending champions Super Falcons in the last eight, with the winner not only reaching the semifinals but also picking one of the four automatic tickets to the 2027 FIFA women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The last time the two teams met at this stage in 2022, the Super Falcons edged it 1-0, thanks to a Rasheedat Ajibade’s goal.
Speaking in Saturday’s presser, Nguele posited that her team has faced very tough opponents in the group stage.
“This is not the biggest match we will be playing in this tournament,” she said. “Mali was another big team and it was an important match, we also played Ghana and Cape Verde gave us a run for our money.”
Nguele Tips Super Falcons As Favourites
Nguele, however, admitted that the Super Falcons are the favourites for the encounter.
She added:”We must admit that Nigeria is a great football team and are favourites, that is one thing already. It’s a big team, we admit that, they have already won 10 times in this tournament, we need to accept that but we are in the quarterfinal which is another tournament.”
