Super Falcons head coach Justine Madugu has expressed regret over her team’s poor performance at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The ten-time African champions were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses.

She also took full accountability for the team’s failure in the tournament.
