Last WAFCON, I covered the tournament entirely with my own funds. No brand support. No compensation. Just a commitment to telling the stories of African women’s football.
At the men’s AFCON in 2025, several brands reached out to work with me.
Now, as WAFCON 2026 begins, it’s the same story again. No brand partnerships.
I also choose not to work with betting companies, which naturally limits some sponsorship opportunities, but that’s a decision I’m comfortable with.
The cost of quality coverage doesn’t change because it’s women’s football. Flights, accommodation, transport, equipment, just to name a few isn’t cheap.
After scoring 15 goals and providing 19 assists in 41 matches for Al Ittihad Ladies, Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre has signed a 2-year contract extension with the Saudi Arabian club side. ✍️
Nigeria's Super Falcons wore a jersey featuring 10 stars surrounding the badge during their friendly match vs. Tanzania.
Each star represents the number of WAFCON titles they've won ⭐️🇳🇬
I love that this new age of ex-footballers are determined to age well.
I used to find it appalling that explayers would go from being some of the fittest humans on the planet to becoming overweight within a few years of retirement.
You used to cover 50km+ per game in your prime and now you can't do 30mins of cardio a day?
What a moment it was for Abdul Jabar Adama, carrying the Nigerian flag at the opening ceremony of 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The 19-year-old Swimmer, is the first ever Nigerian to win a medal at the World Junior Swimming Championships.
Adama broke two records in one day to win a Silver medal in the 50m Butterfly in Romania.
He is a big prospect for Naija 🇳🇬
