Why Being Africa’s Best Isn’t Enough For The Super Falcons | Special Delivery | E14

Описание: African football is never short of drama, but some conversations are harder to have than others.

In this episode of Special Delivery, Emmanuel Babayaro and Edafe Eseoghene tackle the question that should have been answered decades ago: Why is Africa's most successful team still being treated like an afterthought?

Just 12 days before the scheduled kickoff of WAFCON 2026, CAF has moved the goalposts literally. With planes ticketed and camps in full swing, the tournament has been postponed to July. We’re diving into the chaos this has caused, from the financial abyss facing federations to the viral outrage from stars like Ashleigh Plumptre and Rasheedat Ajibade.

Why is Africa's most successful team still fighting for the basics in 2026?

Inside the conversation:
• The Respect Gap: Why dominance against teams like Cameroon isn't enough to fix the structural issues in Nigerian women's football.
• WAFCON 2026 Delay: Is the July postponement a tactical move for Morocco, or a massive disruption for the rest of the continent?
• The July Climate: How the North African heat could reshape the tactical landscape of the tournament.
• The 48-Team Revolution: We break down the massive 104-match schedule for the 2026 World Cup. Is more always better?

Football is unpredictable. Football is emotional. Football is conversation.
And on Special Delivery, that conversation never stops.

Drop your take: If this was the Super Eagles, would CAF have postponed the tournament 12 days before kickoff?

And, did you get the trivia right?
