Coach Ouzerou on WAFCON Qualification: We are aware of daunting taask ahead
Benin Republic's head coach, Abdoulaye Ouzerou, has acknowledged that his team faces a tough challenge in their 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Amazons trail 2-0 after the first leg and will need to score at least three unanswered goals to qualify for the WAFCON 2026 finals.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday's match at the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta, Ouzerou recognized that the Super Falcons will be motivated to win on home soil.
“When the Super Falcons play, their mindset is to win, that’s what champions do. We know they’ll want to make their fans happy after winning the WAFCON. For us, the target is to keep improving and hopefully qualify for the next WAFCON,” Ouzerou said.
The Amazons will be looking to defy expectations and overcome a two-goal deficit, but Ouzerou's task appears daunting given the Super Falcons' strong form.
The match kicks off at 4 pm Nigerian time.
