Not good news for Nigeria SuperFalcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade
Sources say her MRI came back showing a fracture around her ankle.
Could be out for a while. Wishing her very quick recovery

How long is the "a while" I pray she returns even stronger!!!

Sad, but not surprised that it seems to be a fractured ankle, as that lady landed hard on Rash’s foot. What’s even more sad is the fact that she just came back from injury and seemed to be hitting stride with PSG. That might end up being up a season ending injury for her.

Wishing her a complete and speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

The France women's team will continue its preparation for the 2027 World Cup with two new friendly matches:

🇻🇪 November 27: France – Venezuela (42nd FIFA) in Nancy.

🇲🇦 December 5: France – Morocco (64th FIFA) in Sochaux.

A third match is also scheduled for December 1 against an opponent yet to be announced.

Three final matches before the start of the 2027 Nations League in February.

Meanwhile…
Nigeria is still ‘celebrating’ it win against a Comoros side that is ranked in the lower quartile of world football.

While Morocco is planning ahead, Nigeria and it’s illiterate football leaders are still farting around, waiting till the last minute and will miss the opportunity to do something meaningful this next FIFA window next month.

We don't even have an NFF now. We are on a long thing.

AndSunGorilla:
What about you sir? Is it 1) you weren't impressed 2) you were already aware of her, so not surprised?

You don’t know her before now?

She was among the Blessing Demehin U20 set na, she won us the PK against Canada 🇨🇦, with her no.10 jersey..

A lot of you focused more the likes of Demehin, Abiodun, Sabastine, Idoko and Imuran so you forget that there were other talents in the team..

Anyway she’s of same profile with Cynthia Uwak if you know Uwak very well… Can play all positions upfront especially from the Left or middle as a no. 9

She’s currently with 20goals in the Belarusian league as one of the top scorers..

Zambia 🇿🇲 already confirmed will play Denmark 🇩🇰

Morocco will play France 🇫🇷 and Venezuela 🇻🇪

Who’s Nigeria playing??

Gusau still dey trouble us even after his resignation honestly. The NSC needs to sort out the NFF leadership issue asap.

Yes just seeing she was part of our 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup squad (Deborah Abiodun, Oluwatosin Demehin, Esther Onyenezide, Flourish Sabastine, Rofiat Imuran set).
Nice one to see her break through the Falcons now.

NEXT UP: NIGERIA VS MOROCCO

The Super Falcons will face Morocco in the third round of the African qualifiers for the LA 2028 Olympic Games.

The two-legged tie is scheduled for February 23 to March 6, 2027, as Nigeria continue their quest to return to Olympic women’s football.

The road to LA 2028 continues.

-----------------
I understand there's another match International match window 24 November – 5 December 2026 (2 to 3 games)

I hope the NFF have leant their lessons and Eguavoen will be actually be directed to put it to use.
Barest minimum is to have another international team over a 2 leg friendly.

Nigeria have made it to the third round of CAF qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Women’s Football Tournament. The next FIFA window for women is between November 24-December 5.

That means
@thenff
have only a few weeks left to appoint a substantive coach for
@NGSuper_Falcons
so the new coach can have a 3-match window to work with the ladies before that qualifier.

If the coach is not in place for that friendly window, then the federation should stick with Eguavoen for that March qualifier and wait until after to appoint a new coach
https://x.com/ColinUdoh/status/2110455028779499622
------------------------------------------------------------
my sentiments exactly too. This Interim NFF board has their tenure expiring Mid 2027.
Like Eguavoen qualified the Eagles for AFCON 2025, let him be allowed to do same for the Falcon's Olympics and have the new Coach take over afterwards.

Not sure I follow your logic.

The club has a legitimate concern regarding the welfare of the player, especially when she is under contract with them and they are paying her remunerations - billion dollar club or no. Her primary obligation (quid pro quo) is to fulfill her contract with them and help them meet their main objectives - sell stadium seats and win trophies.

For your information, most of serious and forward-looking national teams do pay medical bills or offer welfare packages to their players when injured while on national assignments. That's the professional thing to do. Unlike the buffons and illiterates we have running our football, who know absolutely nothing about football management and player welfare. This has nothing to do with being dramatic. It is a very legitimate concern.

And it is disappointing to suggest not being concerned about the player when that was indeed the main focus!

BascoVanVeli:
How many national teams pay medical bills? Don't be dramatic. Instead of worrying about the player, u are telling me about a billion dollar club.

The flamingoes should be able to win first 2 matches. Poland will be tough if they don't take their chances, but they should be fine.
3rd match will tell how far they can go in the tourney. I expect a semi final place and see where luck takes them after that.
The attack is very very solid.

At least two to three months depending on the severity of the injury …

Sad for mummy G.O. very unfortunate injury.

Mehn... Okpe, Onyenezide, Abiodun, Olise, Okwuchukwu, Sabastine, Demehin, Imuran, Kalu, Alani, Idoko.

That 2022 U20 side was loaded abeg. The loss to the Netherlands in the Quarters was so painful because the dutch played nothing and only took 2 chances and sat back for the rest of the game.

Our coaches did not think up a way to break the dutch low block with the talents in that squad.

Who was the coach of that squad abeg? The person tried ateast for fielding talented players.

Christopher Danjuma.

Honestly, I didn't realize he was the coach. That said, that was a good assemblage of talents. While his touch line nous may be suspect, I raise my flat yash for am for putting together that team.

Someone that fumbled with all the talent available in is disposal..

Medical Statement

Paris Saint-Germain is providing the latest medical information regarding Rasheedat Ajibade

Injured during the last match of the Nigerian national team against Comoros, Rasheedat Ajibade has suffered a fibula fracture. The forward will soon undergo surgery by one of the Club's leading surgeons before starting her rehabilitation alongside the medical team at Paris Saint-Germain.

The entire Paris Saint-Germain team is providing its full support to Rasheedat during this ordeal and wishes her a lot of courage and a speedy recovery.

We are with you! ❤️‍🩹🙏

Yes your view is factual and I sort of hinted at that too.

I was only pointing out that if for nothing, he searched for and used talented players which at least we are reaping some benefits today. Perhaps, they should make him a scout and pay him for that.

Fact to note...
Tomorrow, Poland will MAXIMISE set piece plays. They have this funny corner routine. They will run in circles to confuse defending team. They're very effective with set piece. With our height deficit, I'm almost certain they'll score about 2 set piece goals.

Make Danjuma a scout? That means you want him to ruin the SuperFalcons more than what Madugu did because he will only perform his regular duties of selling slots to the highest bidder…

We need who will pick the best players available not those they want to push on personal benefits..

Ok you know them way more than I can. How was he able to assemble that U20 we were talking about then? Does that mean Demehin, Debbie, Flourish, Onyenezide, etc bought slots at that time?

Watching the replay, the Comoros player is a w.icked being. She had no reason for making that tackle.

Are we still in 2022? We’re talking about what is currently going on with the SuperFalcons, you’re taking us backwards.

I saw the goal post shifting you did there, just a simple question based on your postulation.

Anyways for the Super Falcons to move forward. Of course the NFF needs to get a reasonably good coaching crew for the team. Personally i would like us to rettry one of our ex Falcons as we rebuild. We have to try out many competent youngsters as much possible through friendly games. Some will fail, some will shine as the team gets rejigged.

Finally, attention has to be paid to the underage teams to further produce those kind of players similar to the class of 2022 and older ones like the Oshoalas, Oparanozie, Nnadozie and co.

Anyone that can help us build the pipeline should be encouraged to participate, particularly those who have done it before one way or another.

It may really have been unintentional. Some clumsy challenges could end up being costly. I remember one tackle that the Heung Min Song made, that he himself started crying after seeing the ensuing injury he caused.
