NSC renews confidence in Super Falcons to pick 2027 FIFA World cup ticket
..Calls on the team to stay focused ahead of tonight's playoff against South Africa
The National Sports Commission, NSC, has charged the Nigeria Super Falcons to stay focused and go for a win when they take on South Africa Thursday night in a highly anticipated World cup playoff Match in Casablanca.
The 10 times African champions narrowly lost to Cameroon in the quarter-finals of the ongoing WAFCON tournament in Morocco but still have a big chance to qualify for the 2027 World cup via the Inter-Confederation playoff.
The Director General of the NSC Hon. Bukola Olopade has called on the girls to quickly leave the disappointment of the quarter-final defeat behind them and channel all their energy on tonight’s game against the South Africans.
” The Super Falcons remains Africa’s biggest football brand and the pride of the continent, therefore the rare loss to Cameroon should not define them because we know how good they are”.
” The girls have brought us tremendous joy over the years and I want them to know that Nigerians are definitely behind them, more than ever before, even as they play this crucial game tonight”.
The DG further assured the team of the Federal Government’s unwavering support and confidence in their ability to still qualify for the Women’s World Cup in 2027.
” Speaking the minds of Mallam Shehu Dikko, the Chairman of the NSC, I want to urge our girls that the Federal Government is fully behind them and will continue to do everything possible to ensure that they pick the World cup ticket”.
