Women's Africa Cup of Nations News
The past two months have proven that African women's football has moved beyond the era of Nigeria's near-monopoly, and the continent's stars in the NWSL and UEFA WCL shone at the Women's AFCON to prove it.
Nigeria Football Federation president Ibrahim Musa Gusau, general secretary Mohammed Sanusi, and the entire NFF executive committee resigned Thursday, amid mounting public pressure following a series of failures.
Kansas City Current forward Temwa Chawinga says individual awards are no longer enough, with the two-time NWSL MVP setting her sights on the one prize still missing from her NWSL collection, a Championship win.
The Nigeria Football Federation has dismissed Super Falcons coach Justine Madugu and the rest of his technical crew with immediate effect, just days after Nigeria failed to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time.
South Africa head coach Desiree Ellis has praised Banyana Banyana striker Ronnel Donnelly after her influential showing against Nigeria, but has warned the young forward that she may not realise her full potential without increased playing time.
