12 Falconets decamped ahead World Cup qualifier
 March 13, 2020

Ahead of next weekend’s Africa Zone FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup first leg qualifier against Burkina Faso, Falconets Moses Adiku has decamped 12 players out of 37 that began camping two weeks ago.

Adiku who spoke after the training, said he retained 25 players to enable the technical crew concentrate and work on the lapses already identified.

He said the Burkinabes were not push over in female football especially at this level and every Africa nation want to be represented at FIFA-organised competitions, adding “our players have advantage due to their involvement in our domestic league.

“I have requested for the match tape of Burkina Faso. You know this is football, you can’t underrate any team. Women football is fast growing in Africa unlike before when our national teams had easy passage in both CAF and FIFA-organised championships.

 

“My target is to win the first leg in Ouagadougou with wide margin like what the Flamingoes did to Guinea by beating them 6 -1 to make the return leg a formality.  My joy is that some of the girls are not new to international competitions.

“The girls also know the importance of the qualifier and only the best I will be selected for the match. For now the camp is injury free and I pray it continues to be injury free throughout our qualifiers,” he said.

The Falconets yesterday played a scoreless draw with Nasarawa Amazon in a friendly match after they lost

2-1 to Abuja U-17 Boys in their  first warm up game.

The  2020 FIFA U-20 Women’s  World Cup will be co-hosted by  Costa Rica and Panama in August.

Akinwunmi, who doubles as Eko_Football

boss admonished the Flamingos players to stay focused on excelling and avoid distractions, while reiterating the

support in the team’s qualification bid for #U17WWC.

Zambia have qualified for the Olympic Game.... Cameroon to play intercontinental play off against Chile to decide the last slot.

So u think we win the next AWCON ?

of course we are no.1 Favorite to win it...
we have all the players who can win it for us it's just that our NFF are the major set Back ..

One thing you should note is that our Superfalcons will never let go of that trophy without a good flight even amidst poor preparations..The player's are doing it for the name and Legacy the the Ex-players have created not because of the Money..

Zambia W - Cameroon W 2:0 (2:0,0:0) 2nd Half - 73' 2nd leg. 1st leg result: 2-3.

isan:
Other teams has catch up with us just look at Zambia what they are doing to Cameroon

Ghana
South Africa
Cameroon
Ivory coast
Zambia

We will struggle against these teams but will still have the x factor in oshoala

But one thing that's is of the Superfalcons advantage is that if Asisat Oshoala is being marked out by Our Opponent it always give room for Ordega to do the playing Job..
There's no way our Opponent can mark out the two of them!!

isan:
Other teams has catch up with us just look at Zambia what they are doing to Cameroon

Ghana
South Africa
Cameroon
Ivory coast

We will struggle against these teams but will still have the x factor in oshoala

They will always be Scared playing against the Likes of Oshoala who's Africa no1.. Ordega is also there...

But the Zambian Side are not to be taken for granted because they Look Fast and strong with Barbara Banda been the Key player there...
They're currently Leading Cameroon 2nil....on the verge of Qualifying for the Olympic Game in Tokyo

lakesidepapa:
Is she not older than 17? with this her face.

You have to direct this question to her Parents, better still the Coaches that invited her to the U17 National Team

Flamingos Superb Striker Yemisi Samuel.

jimmyiovine:
Morocco have just beaten Ghana 3-2 in a friendly game. Hope this will make us sit up, other non west African countries are stepping up massively!

It's Ghana U20 not the Senior Team...

Barcelona against Deportivo game was so tough...!
Deportivo were so compact, defensively stable just the last minute goal from Hamraoui header....Nice delivery from Mariona...
Asisat Oshoala wasted some clear chances!! Graham Hansen and Lieke Martens crosses from both wings were poor today!!

Congratulations � to FC Barcelona Femenino

Kudos to RC Deportivo they fought till the last minute.

It's Rita Chikwelu Vs Uchenna Kanu and Tony Payne in SPAIN: Copa de la Reina Women

Superfalcons to be Full Back/Winger Patricia George in action for her Club B.V.C Cloppenburg in Germany....

They won 2nil, and she scored both goals

solonnachi:
True talk. But were the U17 Flamingo players selected from the Premier league teams or Pro-league sides? Do you have that info?

There are players from the Premier League,Pro-League, and the Amateur side..

Asisat Oshoala is on Fire!!!!

NFF should please name a coach for the Superfalcons and give them quality grade a game's to play to Boost her chance of winning Global Awards

solonnachi:
In previous friendlies, they beat two local sides 3-2 and 6-1. Are they now ready to face Guinea?

I will say they're 40% ready to face Guinea... They should face Premier League teams likes Nasarawa Amazon,, Confluence Queens,, Adamawa Queens first to know how ready the team is...Naija Ratels are from the Pro-League side which is not enough to rate how ready the team is.


If they can defeat or hold the likes of Almighty River's Angel, Bayelsa Queens to a draw then i can say they're good enough to qualify for the World Cup..

If you currently look at the Nigeria Women Football League i can't lay hands on any other Goalkeepers better than Tochukwu Oluehi, Chiamaka Nnadozie and Alaba Jonathan...

Onyinyechukwu Okeke who's over 1.82cm tall hasn't leaved up to Expectations though she's still doing fine..
Christy Ohaeriaku can't displaced the above named goalies or you want to bring in Ibubeleye Whyte

isan:
Alaba won't displace oluehi or nnadozie we need a young goalkeeper to take her role

By June 1st Alaba Jonathan will be 28years are you saying she's older than Tochukwu Oluehi who is 32yrs or she's no Longer good enough for the National Team??

Don't forget she was one of our stand out player during the 2016 AWCON in Cameroon, Her performance contributed to the Superfalcons victory in Cameroon especially the Final game against Cameroon.

If you watch her play during the U20 and the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany you wouldn't doubt her Capabilities and what she can bring to the Superfalcons....By the way signing for Linköping FC which is one of the strongest Club in the OBOS DAMALLSVENSKAN in Sweden will also do a great job in her career...

Faith Ikidi is the other Nigerian that have played for Linköping FC and she also won the League with them in 2009..

isan:
I think she's done she won't get in the team too much attacking players for super falcons and they are all still young

I don't think so at 27years she still have a lot to offer considering her experience, skills and pace...her abilities to play any of the positions upfront is something the Coaches would always be happy of...She uses both feets effectively and i can gladly remember her pairing with Oparanozie upfront during their U20 day's..

With her Statistics, she's one player capable of Scoring a goal in every two game which isn't bad for a Striker..

*Nigeria Superfalcons Striker Ebere Orji Sign for Swedish giant Linköping FC*

Nigerian player Ebere Orji joins from Umeå IK and has previously represented Mallbackens IF and Umeå IK once again. Orji scored eleven goals in last year's edition of the Elite and was a strong contributing cause of Umeå's advancement to OBOS Damallsvenskan. - Linköpings FC is a big club in Damallsvenskan and it has been a dream to play there, a dream that has now become true and it will be so exciting, says Ebere Orji. I will do my best, collaborate with my teammates and work hard to win multiple titles.
