WAFCON 2026: Claims of alleged cash theft from Super Falcons players trend on social media

Fresh reports circulating on social media have allegedly claimed that some players of Nigeria’s Super Falcons might have lost cash amounting to more than $1,250 while staying at the Marriott Hotel in Casablanca, Morocco.

According to the reports, the players allegedly discovered that money was missing from their wallets after returning to their rooms during the team’s stay.

It is claimed that the matter was brought to the attention of team officials, with calls for an investigation into the alleged incident.

However, the circumstances surrounding the reported loss remain unclear, and there has been no official confirmation that any theft occurred. It is also uncertain how many players may have been affected or when the alleged incident took place.

The reports have generated discussions online as the Super Falcons continue preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where they are expected to begin the defence of their continental title.

As of the time of filing this report, neither the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Super Falcons, nor the management of the Marriott Hotel in Casablanca has issued an official statement regarding the claims. No law enforcement agency has publicly confirmed that an investigation is underway.

The report, therefore, remains unverified, and further details are expected if or when the relevant authorities or stakeholders issue official statements.
