Deborah Abiodun says the Super Falcons’ hunger for silverware remains as strong as ever, despite the team’s unmatched dominance in African women’s football.

Nigeria are the most successful side in Women’s Africa Cup of Nations history, with a record 10 titles. Justine Madugu’s side will look to extend that mark to 11 when the tournament kicks off in Morocco next weekend.

Speaking to ESPN, Abiodun said last season’s success is now in the past and the focus has shifted entirely to this tournament, adding that as a player, winning never gets old. She acknowledged Nigeria are widely tipped to win Group C, but stressed the team will treat every match against Malawi, Zambia, and Egypt with equal seriousness and won’t take any opponent for granted.

She added that representing the Super Falcons always comes with a responsibility to make Nigerians proud, alongside teammates and themselves, and pointed to the added stakes of this year’s tournament, with a place at the FIFA Women’s World Cup also on the line. Abiodun said the squad isn’t approaching any fixture lightly, and that she expects the campaign to be an enjoyable one for the team.
