Executive Committee Member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Aisha Falode, has expressed confidence in the Super Falcons’ ability to recover from their disappointing defeat to Malawi, urging Nigerians to continue supporting the team as it pursues qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup and an 11th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title.
In a statement on Thursday, Falode said the setback should not overshadow the team’s long-standing record of excellence, resilience and commitment to representing Nigeria with pride.
She acknowledged that the result against Malawi fell short of expectations but stressed that no one was more disappointed than the players and the technical crew, who understood the responsibility of wearing the country’s colours.
“The Super Falcons have earned the trust, admiration and unwavering respect of Nigerians through decades of excellence, resilience and an enduring commitment to our nation’s colours,” she said.
According to Falode, the defeat does not diminish the quality of the squad or the objectives that brought the team to the tournament in Morocco.
