Bad times no doubt. Na real things fall apart. The government who are in charge now through the NSC are focused on the next election. Unfortunately nothing is going to happen till after the elections.

This window and period would have been good time for the new coaches to work something out…. Other African countries are on the rise and we seem to be drown in past glory which might fade out real quick and the Falcons will start struggling like the Eagles to qualify for a major tournament.

AndSunGorilla:
Seems Ucheibe is in the mix somewhat too, yes we know she's more of a midfielder. And Ashleigh might still be around for another 2 years at least.
Please remove that Maureen abeg.

Ucheibe remains a DM will only come in occasionally when the need arises..

Remember Ayinde is aging and we can only rely on Abiodun as there isn’t any one yet we can pick on.

Do you have a proper Left Back apart from Plumptre who can play there?? Imuran is more of a back up in that position.

As for Maureen I can assure you she will certainly get the opportunity and hopefully not a late one.

I guess Shukurat Oladipo and Blessing Demehin are favorites at Center Back for the SuperFalcons for now…


I would love to see a Proper competition for that Center Back Position. No one should be comfortable… And I hope a Beast type of a Center Back will arrive from nowhere as well 😂😂😂

• Blessing Demehin — SL Benfica, 24yrs 🇵🇹
• Shukurat Oladipo — AS Roma, 22yrs 🇮🇹
• Chidinma Okeke — Napoli, 26yrs 🇮🇹
• Maureen Umeugochukwu — US Saint Malo 25yrs 🇫🇷
• Valentina Uroko — Edo Queens, 22yrs 🇳🇬
• Rebecca Adegbemile — Edo Queens, 18yrs 🇳🇬

Is there any crime in Hiring a proper coach for the SuperFalcons? We need stability with this teams, the next FIFA Window is coming up this would have been a great opportunity for a new Coach to assess the players available and build the team against the next major game!

Those guys in the glasshouse are the most useless set of bodies to set foot on Nigeria football.

They see our football as a political office reward

daveP:
Wasn't expecting 3-1 or a win vs Korea. Wow🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

The most nigerian woso thing to happen after this kind of performance is Nigeria 🇳🇬 crashing out in the very next stage

For reference
- the u20s vs Colombia
- edo queens 2024
-super falcons 2023

Hopefully their case will be different 🙏🙏

AndSunGorilla:
Morocco's scouting really paid off today. Na only 5-1 dem collect, not too bad.

No be today you be Back & Front Cutlass, na who nor know your type your foolery go surprise 😮.


And Yes it paid off, they gave what they have and can’t give more than that… As if you expected Nigeria to win this game before.

I didn’t see them winning yesterday but they put on a perfect game to hurt Korea
The North Koreans weren't very sharp in their passing yesterday, and the flamingoes intercepted passes and won duels that they turned into quick counterattacks into open space, which Korea struggled a lot to defend

BREAKING 🚨

Ex-Super Falcons 🇳🇬🦅 player, Ayisat Yusuf has a sealed a two-year deal with HJK Football Club of Finland U16 as the team's Female Head Coach.

The 41-year-old coach, started her football career with Nasarawa Amazons in Nigeria 🇳🇬 before moving to Europe.

BascoVanVeli:
That was so clear and offside but our girls should play to the whistle nah.

A lesson to learn, must play to the whistle and be mindful of handballs…

Again I like the way the no.5 pull her out from the goalkeeper because I was thinking she wanted to make another mistake..

Make them go warn her now..

BascoVanVeli:
Ijirigho can go right to the top because she has the exact size u are looking for in the position. I don't expect her to be in the country after she hits 18.

lol 😂
Calm down, na Goalkeeper we Dey talk about, she’s pretty okay for now but still need to work on some things which she should have been at least average at right now.. Eg kick 🦵

Alfryd:
Time for Nigeria match pls

4pm Nigeria time

Chidi Harmony dropped to the bench… was expecting same for Queen Joseph but let’s hope Precious comes from the bench to do justice..

🚨EXCL - Understand that arrangements are being made by CAF, for Kemi Adegbuyi and Oluebube Umejiaku to join up with the Edo Queens team for the CAF Women's Champions League Qualifier in Egypt, from the #U17WWC in Morocco.

Alternatives also considered, if the duo do not make it.

Sunnyson8:
No better encapsulation of the coaching crisis in Nigerian football than this. Among the cohort only now seeking CAF's foremost coaching certification are three men, named here, who have won titles at the highest level of the country's footballing pyramid in the past decade.

For all intents and purposes, these are our best coaches, and yet they are inadequately credentialed.

And i can boldly tell you that the two assistant coaches of the Flamingoes have just CAF-C Coaching license which they acquired it in 2025.. although both of them are Ex- Superfalcons internationals ( Joy Jegede who was Ohale Center back pair in 2010 U20 World Cup and winger Amenze Aighwewhi who was at the 2011 FIFWWCUP in Germany…

BascoVanVeli:
She was woman handling those guys

At least she didn’t disappoint in that aspect.

News Update ⬇️

The second module of the CAF A-License Coaching Course, being organised by the Nigeria Football Federation, commenced at the weekend in Abuja.

Several coaches like Finidi George, Imama Amapakabo, and Kennedy Boboye are part of the cohort.


Top coaches like finidi,Kennedy boboye are just going for CAF A license. Our coaches are inadequately equipped. Imagine the level of other coaches

AkinDS:
Not only shocking, but extremely sad.
This was a player you held in high esteem. Truth is I
Never really thought she was good enough for the Falcons, and her having to play her football in Liberia (of all places) proves the point.
My concern for her now is that she may face a significant ban for willingly disrupting a CAF CL match, which may end her football career at any level, including coaching.
Sad!

To have played U17 & U20 World Cup as a starting goalie and also getting called up to the SuperFalcons she can’t be that bad, but i can attest that she fumbles when least expected..

Left Israel 🇮🇱 league for this Liberia 🇱🇷 clubside maybe for the champions league qualifiers earlier on before this issue camp up.

Schemerkhiz:
Have you guys seen the video of goalkeeper Onyinyechi Patience Okeke that’s trending??

She stepped into the field in Liberia 🇱🇷 in protest for her salary owed by Determine Girls FC, a CAF Champions League playing club..

A goalkeeper that was once tagged the future of the Nigeria SuperFalcons goalkeeping position..

A remainder that Randy Waldrum gained 94.14 points at the world cup, the biggest stage in football. Madugu lost 74 points at the WAFCON.

People comparing Madugu with Waldrum might need to go for a checkup

I think it’s high time we consider the top Ex-Internationals for the age grade teams as well because most of them have been coaching youth teams abroad especially the ones based in the US 🇺🇸

ekehopp2:
Morocco are currently loosing 4 nil to Germany, after an easy win over minnows New Zealand.
Why

I dont know what the fascination is with foreign born and dual nationality players.
Left to this kind of thinking, locally based/raised players should forget about National Team callups in totality.
It's disgusting man!

Morocco 🇲🇦 ain’t just picking Foreign born players for picking sake but picking the ones that add quality to the team..

Schemerkhiz:
And someone was actually comparing this team to the 2010 set that gave us quality players, thank goodness I didn’t even bother to argue.… chaieee🤦‍♂️

2010 set that produced this stars

Defender; Sarah Nnodim Gladys Abasi, Ugo Njoku, Victoria Aidelomon, Ebere Okoye

Midfielders; Ngozi Okobi, Winifred Eyebhoria, Halimatu Ayinde. Ebere Okoye.

Forwards;Loveth Ayila, Francisca Ordega, Jane David, Yetunde Aluko


From this same 2010 U17 set, 9 players from that team went ahead to win silver at the 2014 U20 World Cup in Canada 🇨🇦

South Korea 🇰🇵 was actually the team that stopped them in the quarter finals and it was a goal feast of 6-5

BascoVanVeli:
They are playing nonsense. They don't want to calm down and attack, instead they are shooting from long range like that other set.

Queen Joseph look off form..

BascoVanVeli:
1-0 Kemi Adegbuyi

The team still haven’t played to expectations… hoping for the best..

BascoVanVeli:
5 is the least Puerto Rico is collecting.

20minutes no goal yet 🙄

I hope the flamingoes turn up

How the 🇳🇬🦅Flamingos line up against Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

BascoVanVeli:
We can win Korea if we get our ishh together. Our players are capable, we just have to have the right plan.

Okay oooo, Let’s see how it goes!

62” North Korea 🇰🇵 (6) - (1) Poland 🇵🇱

⚽️ 9' Ri Ye-Rim [PRK]
⚽️ 29' Yu Jong-Hyang () [PRK]
⚽️ 40' Kim Won-Sim (Ri Ye-Rim) [PRK]
⚽️ 45+5' Kim Won-Sim (Ri Ye-Rim) [PRK]
⚽️ 46' Galuszka N. (Burzan Z.) [POL] 🇵🇱
⚽️ 53' Yu Jong-Hyang (Eh Chong-Gum) [PRK]
⚽️ 58' Ri Ui-Gyong (Kim Ju-Gyong) [PRK]

BascoVanVeli:
Poland is getting beaten like they stole something 😳

5-1 right now…

Don’t mess with those North Koreans

Wish the Flamingoes played a draw
Now Poland will certainly win their last game..

The best is for Nigeria to win today at least 10-0 and make sure to win or hold North Korea to a draw or a slim lose so as to get one of the best 3rd place spot..
