The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has assured the coach of the Super Falcons, Randy Waldrum, of maximum support in a bid to build a formidable team that the world will reckon with by its performance at major tournaments outside the African continent.
The assurance was given by Dr Mohammed Sanusi, NFF General Secretary, during a brief meeting with Waldrum in Abuja.
The Federation expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Super Falcons at the Turkish Women’s Tournament, where the team won all their matches against teams such as Uzbekistan, Equatorial Guinea, and CSKA Moscow.
He stated that the Amaju Pinnick-led administration was resolute in harnessing available human, material, and non-physical resources and assets to uplift the nine-time African champions to eventual world-beaters.
“I welcome you to the NFF headquarters for the very first time. Let me start by saying that I was actually impressed with your professionalism and competence shown in the handling of the squad at the Turkish Women’s Tournament, and that played a great role in the Super Falcons winning all their matches at the tournament,” Sanusi told the female national team’s coach.
“Permit me to also say the NFF is enamoured by your request, without any prompting, to come and watch the NWFL Super 6 taking place in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
“This shows clearly that you are interested in the development and sustenance of the Nigeria women’s game and discovering players for the national team. We will continue to give you all the support to build a formidable team that the world will reckon with by its performance at major tournaments outside the African continent.”
