Chiamaka Nnadozie, Nigeria's 10-time Women's Africa Cup of Nations goalkeeper, has urged fans to remain supportive as the team battles to progress in the 2026 tournament in Morocco. Following a shock 3-2 defeat to debutants Malawi, Nnadozie rallied the team with a clean sheet in their 1-0 victory over Zambia, who played with 10 players from the 40th minute due to a red card.
Speaking to Ademola TV, the goalkeeper appealed to the fans to stay behind the team, emphasizing Nigeria's history as champions and promising that they will make Nigerians proud. She said, "Naija, I just wan say make una calm down. I no know why una dey worry. Na we oh, 10 times champions. We go make una proud. We be una sisters, when una sisters make mistake, una go beat am? Make una dey cheer us, make una support us."
The victory over Zambia revived the Falcons' hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals and defending their continental title. However, a convincing win is crucial as they face Egypt on Wednesday, knowing that a favorable result is needed along with Malawi's and Zambia's performances. Nnadozie, a three-time CAF Women's Goalkeeper of The Year, could potentially secure another title this year.
