Nigeria 'still have hope' for 2027 Women's World Cup spot

Nigeria have missed out on automatic qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup, a setback that goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie says requires the team to go "back to the drawing board."

According to BBC Sport, Nnadozie acknowledged the disappointment but stressed that the squad still holds hope of securing a place at the tournament through the remaining qualification route.

The Super Falcons will now need to regroup and focus on the next opportunity to qualify, with Nnadozie emphasising that the team's belief remains intact.

While the automatic path is no longer available, the road to the 2027 World Cup is not closed for Nigeria, and the side will be aiming to respond positively in the matches ahead.
