Not even D2 in England which is a far better league than Belarus, Lithuania and Israel ..

I bet anyone here only the top 1-3 clubs
Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and maybe Trabzonspor AŞ in the Turkish league that can at least compete with the Championship teams in England..

Imagine a D4 player in England ahead of players like Nicole Payne 🇺🇸, Chidinma Okeke 🇮🇹… How do you explain this??

Players from Belarus ahead of the NWSL 🇺🇸, SerieA 🇮🇹, LigaMX 🇲🇽 and ArkemaPL 🇫🇷

We all how it panned out at the last WAFCON.
More than half of the girls invited don't deserve to be in the team.

See team wey AE and Danjuma dey assemble for Olympics qualifiers...

When we talk about foreign Coach they will saw we don’t like the local coaches…

The Local Coaches will prefer to sell the slots so as to earn funds for their pockets as long as there are already 10-15 good players already to do the playing..

Most players called up are not worth it, Danjuma is the Problem..

A very young defender to keep a eye on as she grows..

Marie Omoze Okoroh, 🇩🇪

• She plays as a defender for the German club SpVg Aurich.

• Known for her strong physical presence, commanding defensive capabilities, and aerial threat from the backline, she has captained SpVg Aurich's U17 squad.

Predator87:

Favour Omenazu - MK Dons
She plays in like div 3 or 4.
Na wah! The level of corruption, eh?

Ona never see anything…!

How do you leave players playing in the top5 Division in the World and call up players from Belarus and a Fouth tier of women's football Club in England.

NFF COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ⚠️ 📢

A total of 14 players trained on Monday evening as Nigeria’s Super Falcons commenced preparations for Friday’s 2028 Olympics Women’s Football Tournament qualifying match against the senior women national team of Comoros 🇰🇲. Both teams will clash again in the return at the same Remo Stars Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Interim Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen has released Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Favour Nkwocha (who featured for the Falconets at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Poland) back to the U17 women’s team, Flamingos. The Flamingos are scheduled to fly out of Nigeria on Wednesday for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals taking place in Morocco.


Defender Ashleigh Plumptre has been excused due to injury (sprain and ligament), and SL Benfica duo of Oluwatosin Demehin and Flourish Sabastine will not be coming due to resident permit pursuits.

She can play as a Midfielder / Right-Back

Currently playing for MK Dons Women (serving as team captain)


Milton Keynes Dons F.C. Women is competing in the FA Women's National League Division One South East.

In search of a replacement for Osinachi Ohale, we still have to keep an eye of the 22yrs Edo Queens Center Back Valentina Uroko

🛩🦅🇳🇬Falcons in camp...

Ashleigh Plumptre didn’t feature and wasn’t included on the team sheet for their league game today. Hopefully, she’ll be available and fit to represent Nigeria 🇳🇬 in the upcoming game against Comoros 🇰🇲. 🙏💚

Club reports she sustained an ankle injury that requires some examination first..

Nesrine Bahlouli (Al-Nassr) and Célina Ould Hocine (Paris FC), both of whom have come through the French youth national teams, have been called up for the first time with Algeria. ✅ 🇩🇿

I also note the presence of Sarah Compaoré (OM) and Célia Aggoune (RC Lens) in Farid Benstiti's squad for the double-header against Central Africa in the qualifiers for the 2028 Olympics. 🔜

The moment they qualified for the World Cup I knew it, a lot of this players will pick Algeria 🇩🇿 real quick instead of waiting for France and co to call the up..

Super Falcons get new Media Manager

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed Brenda Shima as the new Media Manager of the Super Falcons, Shima’s appointment comes following the departure of Mary Akinsola from the media management position.

The new Media Manager is expected to assume responsibility for the day-to-day media operations of the senior women’s national team, including coordination with journalists, production of official content and communication of team activities to supporters and the wider football community.

Shima brings considerable experience in sports journalism and broadcasting to the role, with a career that has been particularly associated with coverage of women’s sports and women’s football.

She began her sports media journey with Ray Power FM in Abuja before teaming up with Africa Independent Television (AIT), where she became part of the team behind Kakaki, one of the network’s prominent current affairs and breakfast programmes, under the DAAR Communications Network.

Her years in broadcasting have seen her develop a strong reputation for reporting and presenting sports, with women’s football among the areas where she has built considerable experience and visibility.

Shima’s background in telling the stories of female athletes and teams is expected to provide an important dimension to her new responsibility with the Super Falcons, one of Nigeria’s most prominent sporting brands.

She recently joined the TVC family, where she has continued her career as a sports reporter and presenter, further strengthening her experience in television journalism and sports broadcasting.

Her transition from frontline sports reporting and presentation into the national-team media management role represents another step in a career built around sports communication and storytelling.

Shima assumes the role at an important point for the Super Falcons, with the team preparing for their 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign against Comoros.

The Falcons are scheduled to play both legs of their second-round Olympic qualifying tie at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, with the first leg set for October 9 and the return fixture on October 13.

AkinDS:
The key question is WHEN
We've been hearing about Maureen for the past 5 years, yet nothing. She hasn't improved herself, even when she had the opportunity to play in the French Ligue 1, but strangely opted to turn it down.
I feel like we've been promised a 7 course meal all these years, but all we have been served is soup!

2023 till date is date is past 5yrs already??

Whaooooo🤔

isan:
That's why you write off all the new players as not " being the right players"and start posting your Wendie renard from Temu ? What about maclean ? Is she still the 2nd coming of oparanozie?

Just be ready to cry blood when MU gets her call up! Do remember me this👍

isan:
That's why you write off all the new players as not " being the right players"and start posting your Wendie renard from Temu ? What about maclean ? Is she still the 2nd coming of oparanozie?

And who said all the new players? There are specific players we know very well that they ain’t at that level yet.. They’re just there for call up sacks.

If the news am hearing about the next coaching set up is true then all this nonsense will definitely reduce.

🇳🇬 Our Falconets are back with the Flamingos!

Following their participation in the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, some of our Falconets have rejoined the Flamingos as the U-17 girls continue their preparations for the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

Among those returning to the Flamingos setup are Precious Oscar, Favour Nkwocha, Tosin Rafiu, Queen Joseph, and goalkeeper Jane Ijirigho. 🇳🇬🦅

isan:
until they call the players paying my bills they've not called the right players for the falcons

If everyone on this thread think like this then moving forward will certainly be a big task for Nigeria in general..

Age still very much on her side, a ball playing CB, but again her Speed & defending against Very Physical Strikers like the Chawinga Sisters, Banda, Lavunga and Co is something we still have to look into..

solonnachi:
I love the mix of youth and experience. Happy to see Flourish Sebastian, Moshood Shukurat, Kemi Adegbuyi in the fold. Even the girls who didn't make the U20 team were considered.

No place for that U20 no 13 defender, Kareem Ramatulahi and Tosin Rafiu.

Let's have a new look Super Falcons. I know that with time, they will all be recruited.

A new look is supposed to be made up of the rightful players not calling up players just because they’re young… Thank Goodness is Comoros 🇰🇲 they’re playing not Morocco or South Africa!

To talk self don tire me!

AkinDS:
The Nasarawa babes Mafia boss is at it again...

So, two of the U20 players who were dropped because they allegedly gave the Polish embassy authorities false information during their interview and were rightfully denied visas for the U20 tourney have been 'rewarded' with call ups to the Super Falcons - Joy Igbokwe and Faridat Abdulwahab.

On this Falcons list for the Comorros double header, at least 3 Nasarawa Babes players are on the invite list (Joy Igbokwe, Faridat Abdulwahab and Fatimoh Solaty). This is exactly the level of cronyism that happened the last time Christopher Danjuma was in charge of the Super Falcons. Undeserving players making the list and of course, the outcome in ALL those instances was DNQ.

The level of incompetence is mind-blowing - I wouldn't be shocked if Comorros dispatches our Falcons due to the two incompetent clowns (Eguavoen and Danjuma) running their crocked schemes.

Non of this Nasarawa Players are supposed to be there if not for Danjuma who’s a serial failure with the Women’s National Team…

What of Deborah?

Injured..
