NFF pledges to support Super Falcons as team jets out to Canada for friendly

The Executive committee of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday, April 5, showered praise on the Super Falcons. In a tough meeting held to decide the future of the nation's football apparatus, the Falcons were one of the few topics discussed in a positive light. 

The NFF chieftains congratulated the Randy Waldrum-led Super Falcons on securing their ticket to the 12th edition of the Africa Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) in July.

With their male counterparts, the Super Eagles failing to secure a ticket to Qatar 2022, Amaju Pinnick and other NFF officials are aware of the importance of the AWCON, which serves as a qualifying tournament for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals.

In a meeting communique made available to Pulse Sports, the NFF leadership promised to provide the team with the necessary support to ensure adequate preparation for the competition. 

On Tuesday night, the Super Falcons team left for Canada, where they will play a two-legged friendly match.

The Falcons will first play in Vancouver on April 9 before the second leg of the encounter in British Columbia three days later.
