Another Goal Gallore fiesta against the Leone queens

Super Falcons coach, Edwin Okon
will submit a 30-man list to the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)
technical committee for the two-
legged African Women
Championship (AWC) qualifying
match against Sierra Leone.
Falcons will host the West African
opponents on February 14 at the
Abuja National Stadium while
they will head to Freetown, Sierra
Leone a fortnight later for the
reverse fixture.
The winners of the encounter
will be a game away from
qualifying for the 2014 biennial
continent football fiesta holding
in Namibia which doubles as
qualifiers for the 2015 Fifa
Women’s World Cup in Canada.
The top three finishers at the
Namibia 2014 AWC will
automatically qualify to represent
Africa in Canada.
Okon, who initially opted to bring
in 45 players to camp in
preparation for the crucial AWC
tie, said he has to key into the
programme of the football house
by scaling down the number of
invited players.
“I’ll tomorrow (Saturday) submit
30 names to the NFF technical
committee for the AWC qualifying
match against Sierra Leone.
“I thought I could have brought
in 45 players, at least, to give me
a wider window to take a
second look at the players since
there is the possibility of drop in
form as the season is at rest at
the moment.
“But the NFF technical
committee's directive has
corrected that, as we’ll now work
with the 30-man squad when we
resume on January 6.
“However, the elimination by
substitution approach will still
apply as any player who fails to
measure up will be eliminated
and substituted immediately.
“The encounter against Sierra
Leone on February 14 in Abuja is
crucial and we must work very
hard to obtain a comfortable
result so as to make the second
leg very easy.
“We want to qualify for the AWC
in Namibia as well as excel to win
a World Cup spot, so the work is
enormous and only the best will
be given the final nod,” said the
Rivers Angels gaffer to
supersport.com.
Aggregate winners of the two-
legged tie are most likely to
confront the winners of the tie
between Rwanda and Kenya in
May and June for a final spot in
the 2014 Namibia AWC football
event.

fourth goal before the end of
the second half.

would depart Tunisia on
Tuesday to resume camp in
Abuja, adding, however, that
there would be no Christmas
break for the players.
“We are coming back to Abuja
to resume camp, there is no
Christmas break for the team
because we have to prepare
hard for the final qualifying
match, with the first leg match
coming up on Jan.11.
“The team is going to face
either South Africa or Tanzania
in the final round qualifier
matches to qualify for the World
Cup,’’ she said.

3-1 then. There are no small
teams again, so we won't let
Nigerians down."

The League Management
Company (LMC) is considering an
abridged Nigeria Premier League
for the coming season, officials
have disclosed.
The new League season is now
expected to kick off in February
immediately after the
Championship of African Nations
(CHAN) in South Africa.
The season will also be expected
to end in May to allow for the
preparation for the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil.
Organisers are now likely to split
the 20-team championship into
two groups with the top two
clubs from each group clashing
in a round-robin playoff to
determine the league champions.
“Clubs are already getting feelers
that the new League season will
be an abridged one so as to
meet the Fifa May deadline for
the World Cup preparations,” a
club official informed.
Clubs may well kick against this
format as they did for the past
season, arguing that an abridged
League would also mean “an
abridged budget” from their
various state governments.

The 2013 Super Six Competition
for the Nigeria Women Football
League (NWFL) will not hold due
to lack of funds, the league's
secretary, Isaac Ajisafe, said on
Monday.
Ajisafe in Abuja said that the
competition would be replaced
with a ceremonial match
between the top clubs in the
league's two groups.
The competition normally
involves the three top clubs
from the two groups of the
league and is organised
annually by the NWFL.
The competition, which is used
to round up the women league
season, helps in determining
the league winners, and it also
marks the end of the women
football season.
The league secretary said that
the NWFL board took the
decision in view of the limited
time available to it and after
having waited endlessly for
funds to come.
"The reason why we have
waited till this time is that we
were trying to see if we will get
funds, but it seems they are not
forthcoming.
"So, instead of waiting for too
long, after having waited this
long since July when we
finished the league competition,
we decided to organise a
ceremonial match to decide the
league winners.
"And it will be between the top
club from each of the two
groups," Ajisafe said.
He noted that the date for the
match had not been decided
but that it would be part of the
programme of the league's
Annual General Meeting (AGM).
"Presently, we cannot give a
date for the match because we
want it to be part of our AGM
programme to mark the end of
the 2012/2013 season.
"And we do not have a date for
our AGM yet, because it has to
be after the Annual General
Assembly (AGA) of the Nigeria
Football Association (NFA).
"That is where they (the NFA
Congress) will approve the date
we will be proposing to them.
We will know when the match
will hold then," Ajisafe said.
Nasarawa Amazons of Lafia
won the league's Group A with
33 points while Rivers Angels of
Port Harcourt finished first in
Group B with 37 points.
Both teams will now meet in the
ceremonial match to decide the
2012/2013 league winners.
