The Super Falcons squad will represent Nigeria in the women’s football event of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France. The Olympic games are scheduled to begin in July.
We knew that the South Africans were blabber mouth. Even their coach was so arrogant you’ll think they were from another planet. I am very happy, that we put them in their place. Kudos to Randy Waldrum and his players. We hope the NFF will do the necessary things by helping the girls prepared very well for the Olympics.
Nigeria did well. I hate pride. Boasting unnecessarily. if not our way of doing things who is South Africa in football. this is the country Nigeria spent billions to assist, they are up causing pain for Nigeria in different styles. Nigeria has got the opportunity to prove them wrong by playing well @ Olympic.
