“A total of 35 national teams, including Super Falcons will participate in the qualifiers, which will be played over five rounds.”
5 rounds.
Thank you Waldrum for breaking the jinx in 2024.
Before then, we failed to qualify after 2008 – missing 3 editions
2012, 2016 and 2020.
Incidentally, let me not announce what category of coaches was on the benches and the type of NFF support they got.
But we failed to note the big reason for the failure: OTHER AFRICAN NATIONS STARTED PULLING THEIR WEIGHT AGAINST US.
We’ve played 12 matches at the games: W1 D0 L11
A competition one Babra of Zambia has 3 hat tricks and the most prolific African scorer ever with 10 goals.
Zambia only made their Olympic debut in 2020, yes 2020.
Falcons first appeared in 2000.
6 versus 26 years.
Let us keep treating falcons anyhow with anyhow leaders and watch us take the backseat.
E never tire NFF.
Again, WAFCON will tell.
Mind you, we have never failed to qualify for the world cup but caf is merciless by increasing the WAFCON nations to 16 terrific teams.
Hat trick of Olympic failures hasn’t taught us a lesson on bad preparations.
July is near
@Sly. NFF are dry when it comes to good practice. We will not buy their excuses anymore. Either they make the Super Falcons fly or we will make the NFF cry out of office.
No mind dem, Sly.
NFF Onigbese is totally useless. If the SF fail to qualify peren! Body go tell dem!
