Some football stakeholders have hailed the Super Falcons for their heroic feats at the ongoing 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup co-hosted by Australia and New
“They gave England a very good match….penalty is always a gamble, so they must keep their heads up,” he said.
A former chairman of Sunshine Stars FC of Akure, Akin Akinbobola, said the Super Falcons had made Africa proud and also brought Nigeria to the fore in female football across the globe. “The show of character, talent display and of course, the determination to excel was quite obvious in their games,” he said.
“I realised that the coaching crew did excellently well, and this is the first time that the Super Falcons will go to the World Cup and not humiliated,” he said. “The experienced players must not be completely done away with but should gradually be phased out, while injecting fresh legs into the team that will learn and gather experience over one or two years.
