The Super Falcons of Nigeria are off to Melbourne, Australia for a training tour ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The players and the coaching crew left the country on Sunday night.
The Super Falcons will spend 15 days in Melbourne where they are expected to engage in friendly games before the competition.
Randy Waldrum’s charges will face Canada, Australia and Republic of Ireland in Group B at the World Cup.
The nine-time African champions will take on Olympic champions Canada in their first game in Melbourne on July 21.

Training tour indeed.Dem go hear am na
Where’s the red or muddy earth tones coming from? Be on brand, NFF! Green (maintain the hue and tone) or combine it with neutral colors – black, white, grey. Always, always, however, you choose or is most visually appealing.
Na which kind colour we come dey wear noowwwww. All dz people for our glass house well sooo? Shuooo. Anyway e clear say e Don red.
Honestly glory, I’m tired. I’m exhausted..!
Is this how a World cup bound team should be dressed…? Like red-house students during inter-house sports….?
Not to talk of the depressing color combinations.
And later they will say no money, no money.
@ Dr Drey, you know, I had actually scrolled past, as my first impression was that of a group of automobile mechanic posing for advert with one of buses under repair.
It was after a second look, seeing nothing new to read on CSN, that I was shocked I had only just scrolled past news on our super Falcon.
Gusau is really proving he is a monumental misfit for that NFF position. HE IS JUST SO CLUELESS, SITTING DOWN AND WAITING FOR NEXT BUDGET FROM GOVERNMENT, FOR HE N HIS CREW TO LOOT.
SAW PICTURES OF THE SO CALLED SEND OFF,THE GLOOMY LOOKS ON THE FACE OF THE GIRLS DESPERATELY NEEDED THAT FIFA MONEY TO EVEN AGREE TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM.
GUASU N CREW ARE SLOWLY DESTROYING OUR FOOTBALL. STAKEHOLDER WHO KNOW WHAT FOOTBALL MEAN TO NIGERIA/NIGERIANS SHOULD PLEASE WAKE UP NOW AND TAKE A STAND. NA SO WE GO DEY LOOK DEM AND OUR FOOTBALL GO JUST DEY GO, DEY GO AND GONE LIKE EVERY OTHER THING THESE THIEVING POLITICIAN LAY THEIR HANDS ON.
Why not inquire from NIKE why such outfit, they would gladly give an explanation.
OEN LETTER TO NIGERIA SUPER FALCONS COACHING CREW.
Dear Coaching Crew,
Thank God Super Falcons qualified yet for another world cup outing. Please I want you to take seriously these few lines of mine.
1. Your team should be thought and have to master man-to-man marking. Our male U-20 team defeated Argentina on their own soil, take a second look at that match, there was a man-to-man marking throughout the duration of that match, even in the match they lost to Korea, and they neutralized the Korean’s fast breaks with the same marking.
2. Let them run less with the ball as they will fade out quickly doing that all the time.
3. Please tell them to be on the watch for 90 minutes with no moment of any lousy kick or push that might be costly.
4. Our fullbacks must be young ladies with the energy to run or recover quickly.
5. Please tell them to keep their eyes on the ball and not the referee, take care of business first before complaining.
6. They must not allow anybody to provoke them to commit any foul that may result in a red card.
7. They must play for one another, and correct the mistake made by their teammate before complaining.
I am not a coach but a super fan of the team, this letter is borne out of passion and desire for the team to succeed. They have shown in their last three matches that they know what it takes to win a match. Let them continue with that mindset.
Thank you and God bless.
Up Super Falcons!up Nigeria!!
I’m very sorry for Nigeria as a country. How can we have the wrong people up there in Abuja as Nigeria football Federation while things are like this.
Our green white green is not good anymore rather than changing it to red color?
The mood of our players is another thing. Are they mentally ready? How about their allowances? Are they paid up front?
This is why I decided not to talk that much anymore. They have destroyed Nigeria, but one thing is certain, you people can’t be there forever. Where is Amaju Pinnick today?
This is very frustrating. Nigeria should be one of the best countries in the world, but most of the people in charge of power are pulling Nigeria down. God help us in this country. All the best to our Super Falcons. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
