Ikpeme Charges Falcons On Task Ahead

Director of Technical of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme, has told the Super Falcons that nothing aside from qualifying for the All-Africa Games and Olympics will be good for the image of the nation.


Ikpeme gave the charge when he visited the team at the FIFA Goal Project pitch to bid the girls farewell as they travel to Mali for the All-Africa Games qualifier this weekend.

“You must go to Mali and beat them. There is no compromise; you must beat them both away in Bamako and here in Abuja. That same Mali, you must conquer in the first round of the qualifying race for the 2016 Olympic Games,” said Ikpeme.

He added: “In a nutshell, every qualifier you are going to play for All Africa Games and Olympics must be won home and away. That is the first assignment for you girls; the World Cup which will start in June is the second assignment and very important too, because you girls must go beyond the group stage at the World Cup.”
