Super Falcons’ Courtney Dike says she knows that decision has been taken to drop her from the Falcons squad to France for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup before her invitation, but she has pledged her support to the team at the tournament.


The attacker believes she deserves a place in the
team due to her scintillating performance in the
team’s 6-1 win over Iceland , where she scored on
three occasions.

“I’ve gotten a ridiculous amount of questions about
my absence for the upcoming cup,” Dike stated.

“Although I scored a hat trick in the last camp I was
unfortunately not selected. While I do not agree with
this decision, I will respect it.
Dike added that working as an account has not
affected her performance on the pitch and the team’s
technical crew are aware of her fitness level before
inviting her to the team.

“Yes, I am actively working as an accountant and I’m
usually busy but everyone was aware of that
beforehand.”

“I always make time for things I love and I am
passionate about and was prepared to do what was
necessary to make it work.

“I continued to train as instructed and I continued to
get questions asking what airport I will fly out of, to
provide bio information, speak about the camp and
tournament, etc.

“I’ve reported my physical activity within the last
month as instructed as well. I was invited to camp
with the assumed opportunity of performing well
translating into more opportunity.”
The former Falconets star however was grateful for
the opportunity given to her and added that she will
be rooting for the Falcons at the World Cup .

“Looking back, I prefer not having an invitation than a
decision already being made about me before my
arrival.

“That being said I’m extremely grateful for the
opportunities I received in the past and my girls will
always have a special place in my heart. I’ll be rooting
for you all! Forever and always.”
