12th AAG: Falconets thrash South Africa in Morocco

Nigeria kick started their All African Women’s football Games campaign with a 3-0 thrashing of Basetsana of South Africa at the Stade des Chenes in Rabat, Morocco.

The Falconets showed no mercy to their South African counterparts with a professional performance at the Stade Académie Mohammed VI on Saturday.

Monday Gift, Zainab Olapade and Cynthia Aku were on song for the Nigerian side.

The 2019 African Games women’s football tournament will be the 5th edition of the African Games women’s football tournament.

U20 national teams are allowed to take part in the tournament, with Nigeria drawn in Group B of the competition, to contend with Cameroon, South Africa and Zambia

You mean after South Africa won U-20 cosafa cup last week in preparation fir this match they still lost 3-0?? Pathetic.

Why won’t they lose , they would be inviting teams that can’t play football just because they want to win . Comoros, Tanzania , Mozambique those ones sabi And they would be losing to South Africa girls 6-0,4-0 . Let them invite Nigeria and watch us win the cosafa every year .

XhosaNostra:


Council of Southern African Football Associations, that's what COSAFA stands for. Are you a Southern African country?

slex:


Jamaica is not from South America as well as japan but they played in copa america(were invited) .

You guys know if you invite stringer teams, y’all go home crying .

slex:


You are right. Well good luck in your upcoming games ahead .

XhosaNostra:


We're talking about COSAFA here, not Copa America.

Well, isn't the "crying" part inevitable though since we do participate in other tournaments outside the region?

Non-Cosafa members are usually invited to take part in Cosafa's tournaments.

Cameroon is not a member of COSAFA but they took part in the 2018 championship.
