NFF Expresses Concern Over Falcons’ Poor Treatment by S’African FA

The Nigeria Football Federation has expressed concern over the South African Football Association’s poor treatment of the Super Falcons following Tuesday’s final 2024 Paris Olympics qualifier in Pretoria.

Randy Waldrum’s side played a goalless draw with the Banyana Banyana at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria on Tuesday night but it was enough to see them secure qualification for the showpiece in Paris having claimed a 1-0 victory over Banyana Banyana at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja last Friday.

After Rasheedat Ajibade’s winner in the first leg in Abuja had put the Falcons in the commanding position heading into the second leg, a host of the Banyana team and head coach Desiree Ellis had been talking tough and expressing confidence that they could overturn the tie on their soil.

It was however not meant to be as the 11-time Africa champions remained resolute and claimed a vital draw to pick one of the two tickets for the Olympics in Paris.
