Tunisia forward, Sabrine Ellouzi has said she and her teammates are capable of beating the Super Falcons of Nigerian at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
She made this known ahead of the North African team’s opening match against the nine-time champions at the Zaouli Stadium, Casablanca on Sunday (today).
Tunisia have recorded just one win from eight outings at the WAFCON finals.
Nigeria on the other hand are overwhelming favourites to win the Group B opening fixture.
However, Ellouzi, while acknowledging Justine Maduagu’s side past achievement in the competition, said they are not perturbed.

She went on to add that the Tunisian ladies have what it takes to shock their more illustrious opponent.
“For sure Nigeria is a strong team, they’ve won plenty of WAFCONs, we know this.
“But it is still football. We are confident we can do something, so we will try our best and try to get the best result we can have, and after 90 minutes plus, we’ll see what we get.” she said in a quotes relayed by Nigerian journalist, Victor Ademola.
Tunisia and Nigeria have met only once in the competition – a 0-0 draw at the 2004 edition hosted by Equatorial Guinea.
