•Super Falcons head coach, Justin Madugu

Super Falcons head coach, Justin Madugu, says that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has extended his contract by two-year , for having guided the Super Falcons to their 10th WAFCON title this year.

The 10-time African champions qualified for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in a 1-1 draw with the Benin Republic in Abeokuta on Tuesday, which resulted in a 3-1 aggregate victory.

Madugu , during a press conference after the match, said : “I have been given a new contract from October 1, 2025, till October 1, 2027.”

He added that he was satisfied but not too happy with the performance in the second half as the Beninoise gained momentum after the equaliser.

“The draw didn’t come as a surprise because we knew it was going to be a tough game. It was not going to be an easy game based on what we knew about the Beninoise team,” Madugu said.“

However, I equally want to use this opportunity to apologise to Nigerians for not meeting their expectations.

Each time the Super Falcons go out to play, there are always high expectations in terms of results and performance. Sometimes there can be off days, there can be bad days, and we want to consider today’s match from that perspective,” the 61-year-old added.
