Rinsola Babajide has assured that the Super Falcons will bounce back following their disappointing campaign at the 2026 WAFCON and failure to qualify for the women’s World Cup.
Babajide stated this in a post on her official X handle.
“Heartbroken to say the least. 💔🥺
“It really hurts to miss out on a World Cup spot but grateful for the opportunity to represent my country at yet another WAFCON, unfortunately it didn’t go the way we’d of liked it to have gone.
“We might be down right now but we’ll definitely bounce back, the only way we know how to, the Naija way! 🇳🇬🦅
“Time to reset, reflect & work ahead towards the Olympic qualifiers.

“Thank you to everyone who supported us both in the stands and from home through it all.
“The journey has been real. 🙏🏾.”
The Super Falcons had their worst outing at the WAFCON after losing to Cameroon 1-0 in the quarterfinals, thereby missing out on automatic qualification to the World Cup in Brazil.
However, the team had another opportunity in the play-in against South Africa but lost 2-1 and will now miss out for the first time since making their debut at the maiden tournament in 1991 in China.
