'Nobody is sleeping' - Ebi unsure about Nigeria's African dominance

Onome Ebi is doubtful about Nigeria's chances of maintaining its continental dominance in the coming years following a nervy triumph over South Africa at the 2018 African Women's Cup of Nations.

The reigning African champions failed for the third consecutive attempt to qualify for the Women's Olympic Games after they were knocked out of the qualifiers by Cote d'Ivoire last September.

In 2018, the Super Falcons made a shock losing start in Ghana, with a 1-0 loss to Banyana Banyana but bounced back to edge Desiree Ellis' team after a 4-3 final win via a penalty shoot-out.
