Super Falcons Gear Up for Olympic Qualifiers Against Cameroon

The atmosphere at the Super Falcons camp electrified on Tuesday with the arrival of 11 players, signaling the team’s preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games qualifying showdown against the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon.

Led by head coach Randy Waldrum, who recently secured a contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the coaching staff joined the players in camp.

Waldrum, who last steered the Super Falcons at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, brings his experience to bear on the team’s quest for Olympic qualification.

Among the early arrivals are goalkeepers Chiamaka Nnadozie, Tochukwu Oluehi, Linda Jiwaku, and Akudo Ogbonna, setting a promising tone for the team’s preparations.

The camp further buzzes with the presence of players such as Rasheedat Ajibade, Michelle Alozie, Tosin Demehin, Rofiat Imuran, Abiodun Deborah, Ifeoma Onumonu, and Gift Monday.

With 10 more players anticipated to join camp, Nigeria’s national women’s team gears up for the first leg of the third round qualifying fixture in Douala this Friday.

The intense encounter promises to be a pivotal moment in the Super Falcons’ journey to redemption, having missed out on the past three Olympic editions.

The stakes remain high as both nations brace for a fierce battle, culminating in the reverse fixture at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja next Monday.

The Super Falcons are determined to overcome past setbacks and soar to Olympic glory once again.
