Former Super Falcons coach, Ismaila Mabo, has urged the women’s national team to set a higher target at the 2023 Women’s World
Mabo’s statement comes after Falcons head coach Randy Waldrum stated that the team’s primary objective at the forthcoming 2023 Women’s World Cup was to advance from the group stage of the competition.
The Falcons were disappointing at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco last year as they failed to successfully defend their title, while also unable to finish on the podium for the second time ever in the competition, after losing 1-0 to Zambia in the third-place match to end up in fourth place.
While Waldrum has said the objective is to make it out of the group stage to the knockout phase, Mabo is insisting that getting to the final of the tournament should be the least of their expectations.“Getting to the knockout stage shouldn’t be the major target because that is not a new thing to the country,” he told“The target should be the semi-final and the final and that should be Waldrum’s target as well and not just thinking of making it out of the group stage.
