The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has told the Super Falcons to
brace up for enormous tasks of qualifying for the African Women
Championship (AWC) in Namibia and the World Cup in Canada.
Addressing the players after training on Wednesday, Sanusi Mohammed,
Director of Competition with the NFF warned the players that they cannot
afford to be complacent with the AWC qualifiers which will also serve
as the World Cup qualifier.
"I have been mandated by the Federation to address you on the need for
all hands to be on deck towards achieving the task of qualifying for the
AWC to be hosted in Namibia
"We have a very Herculean task ahead of us,only three teams will
qualify to represent Africa at the next FIFA women senior world in
Canada.Countries like South Africa, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and
Ghana and other up coming countries are not lying low to see that they
too qualify for the World Cup
"I know it is the dream of every player to represent her country at the
World Cup , so if you want to see your self qualify and play at the
world stage you must be responsive and attentive to what ever you are
told to do by your coaches
Sanusi however asked the players, coaches and other officials to
continue to work in harmony as its been in camp since the team resume.
It will be recalled that Super Falcons failed to defend their AWC title
in the 2012 edition at Equatorial Guinea, after they where pipped by a
lone goal in the third place match by Cameroon.
The Director of Competition was in the company of Chairman of Women's
league and NFF board member Dilichukwu Onyedinma and NFF technical
officer Rafiu Yusuf.
