President Jonathan's failed promise is bad
motivation for Super Falcons.
The veteran coach believes poor motivation of
the Super Falcons after their 2014 AWC triumph
will discourage the players from impressing at
this year's Women's World Cup


Former assistant coach of Nigeria U20 women
national team Christopher Alor has disclosed that
the country may not excel at the 2015 Fifa
Women's World Cup in Canada if the Super
Falcons are not adequately motivated.
Though they have been paired with the USA,
Sweden and Australia in Group D for the 2015
World Cup, Edwin Okon's ladies, who won a
record seventh title at the 2014 African Women
Championship in Namibia, still await a promised
reception with President Goodluck Jonathan
three months after.


Alor, who was an assistant coach of the
Falconets at the 2010 Fifa U20 World Cup,
blamed the falling standard of women football to
the insincerity and greed within the leadership of
the country's football federation.
Despite hailing the improving standard of play,
the former Oguche Babes coach insists a lot can
be achieved if considerable attention and
motivation is given to the various women
national teams as well as the women league.

"The problem of women football is
administration. The NFF do not care enough
about women football at the national team level
and even at the club level the management is
very poor," Alor told Goal.


"The NFF needs to be sincere with their attention
and care for women football. The players are
there and the management of clubs like Rivers
Angels, Sunshine Queens and Delta Queens are
trying a bit.
"I'm impressed with the standard of play, only
that our girls can play better if they are well
motivated. Like the Falcons, if they are
motivated, they are going to shake the world and
do better than they have been doing. They have
good technical crew and mature girls both at
home and abroad.
"In female football, there is no pressure for
female coach. But if it’s the male, you will see a
lot of politics, but in female football there is no
politics. If the motivation comes in they will
surely do better.


"I'm not happy with the Federal government
because how can a team go outside and perform
and when they come back it takes them days
and months to get rewarded.
"Imagine, you are telling a girl playing football
that you are giving scholarship and she is not
ready to read.
"Some of them don't want to read and that is
some of the problems encountered in women
football. So when they come back like this, you
motivate them with job or financial reward."


He urged the NFF on early preparation for the
Super Falcons ahead of the World Cup,
suggesting the arrangement of high-profile
friendly games and training tours will boost the
technical and mental readiness of the team.
