Former Super Falcons forward Desire Oparanozie has criticized the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for not extending the gesture of visiting injured Nigerian players to female athletes, as reported by Soccernet.ng.
NFF President Ibrahim Gusau showcased the organization’s concern for its players by personally visiting injured Nigerian Super Eagles players.
A photo shared by the Football Federation’s social media pages spotted Gusau posing with Super Eagles vice captain, William Troost-Ekong,Porto FC defender, Zaidu Sanusi, and FC Nantes forward, Simon Moses.
Oparanozie, who recently announced her retirement from professional football, expressed disappointment that injured female players like Tosin Demehin and Ashleigh Plumptre were not given similar attention.
“It will be more nice if this is extended to the women too. [Tosin] Demehin is currently injured and is in the same country with [Moses] Simon, [Ashleigh] Plumptre is injured too.” Oparanozie wrote on her social media page.
The 11-time Women’s Africa Cup of Nation’s champions recently secured their spots in the 2024 Olympic tournament after defeating the Banyana Banyana of South African team with a score of 1-nil aggregate.
With tough opponents like Brazil and Spain in their group, coach Randy Waldrum will need key players like Demehin and Plumptre in peak condition for the upcoming tournament.
