As the Super Falcons gear up for the crucial second leg of their 2024 Olympics qualifying match against South Africa’s Banyana Banyana, the Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh has rallied behind the team, urging them to break the 16-year jinx that has kept Nigeria out of the Olympic Games women’s football event.
Having missed out on the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympic Games, Senator Enoh urged Super Falcons to be determined to reclaim Nigeria’s spot on the international stage. With a 1-0 lead from the first leg held in Abuja, the Super Falcons carry the hopes and dreams of a nation as they head into the decisive match in South Africa.
Senator John Owan Enoh, speaking ahead of the match, emphasised the importance of self-belief and resilience in achieving victory.
“The Super Falcons have shown remarkable strength and prowess throughout their journey, and now is the time for them to rise and conquer. We believe in their ability to overcome any challenge and make Nigeria proud,” Enoh stated.

Encouraging the team to soar to new heights, Senator Enoh added: “Breaking the 16-year Olympic jinx is not just a goal; it will be a perfect microcosm of the dedication and abilities of our athletes. I urge the Super Falcons to play with passion, determination, and unity. Together, we can rewrite history and inspire generations to come.”
“As they step onto the pitch in South Africa, the Super Falcons carry the hopes and aspirations of millions of Nigerians. We stand with them every step of the way, providing the support they need to succeed.”
In conclusion, Senator Enoh called upon all Nigerians to rally behind the Super Falcons.
“Let us unite as a nation to cheer on our heroes. With our support and their relentless spirit, there is no limit to what the Super Falcons can achieve. Together, let’s make history!,” he said.

Rivers United just succumbed to a USM side that used all sort of antics to win the game by exactly the two goals they need. I don’t know why Nigeria teams will prefer to loose unfairly than boycott matches to protest unfair treatment because the officiating was terrible most especially the first half where USM players were stamping on humans like animals yet only a yellow card or nothing was given, and the first goal should have been reviewed for offside but nobody cares as long as it’s going against the Nigerian team.
I hope Tuesday’s game against RSA will not be another tale of CAF vs Nigeria until then let’s go into fasting and prayer if we must make it to Olympics.
Oga shut up and stop lying to us here….there was nothing unusual with the officiating, there was nothing unexpected…USMA scored 2 legitimate goals and that’s all that matters.
Rivers united also employed their own antics too in their own home leg….they fixed their home leg to be played by 2pm in the hot sun against a team that was fasting and still couldn’t beat them by more than a goal.
Stop coming here to cry about officiating when rivers United hardly created more than one decent chance in the whole of 90 minutes. The played kak football thinking they can defend a goal for 90mins on north african soil
That match would have carried on for 3 hrs and rivers united would still not have scored.
It was by antics and questionable officiating River United also qualified from the groups stage in the first place….what happened to your voice then…? Stop coming here to cry wolf when the results doesn’t favour you. Everytime a Nigerian team loses its always officiating….LMAOoo. If it’s not WAFU that hates Nigeria it will be CAF, if it’s not CAF it will be FIFA…LMAOoo
You can’t give what you don’t have. The best NPFl clubs have done on the continent in close to 15yrs is a quarterfinal place every 5 years. If you are not good enough you are not good enough…Period!
Go and fix your league. You can’t give what you don’t have. Every team in Africa always has its own home advantage…if you don’t take yours it its your headache.
Nor be only you watch the match…!!!
