Former Delta Queens Head Coach, Tosan Blackson, has expressed confidence that the Super Falcons of Nigeria have what it takes to successfully defend their Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title at the ongoing 2026 tournament in Morocco.

Speaking exclusively to FAKSMEDIA on Monday, Blackson said he has full confidence in the technical ability of Super Falcons Head Coach Justine Madugu, describing him as a highly competent tactician.

«"I believe in the technical abilities of Coach Justine Madugu. He is my senior colleague and a coach who truly understands his job. With him and the present crop of players in the team, I believe Nigeria can retain the WAFCON title and win an unprecedented 11th championship," Blackson said.»

The experienced coach noted that the combination of quality players, experience, and sound technical leadership gives Nigeria a strong chance of once again emerging as champions of Africa.
