'They play for each other' - Ajibade hails Super Falcons' maturity

Avaldsnes striker Rasheedat Ajibade has pulled back the curtain on the culture that has set Nigeria's senior women's team on the path to success.

No club or team in Africa can match the nine continental titles the Super Falcons have following their 2018 Africa Women's Cup of Nations triumph in Ghana.

They are also the only team in Africa to feature at eight World Cups, including last year in France where they reached the Round of 16 for the first time since 1999 in the United States.

The 20-year-old, who graduated to the senior team in 2018 and was part of the Awcon and World Cup outings, disclosed that the team's greatness was a result of the burgeoning maturity within its ranks.
