Abuja - The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has told the Super
Falcons to brace up for enormous tasks of qualifying for the African
Women Championship (AWC) in Namibia and the World Cup in Canada.
Addressing
the players after training on Wednesday, Sanusi Mohammed, NFF Director
of Competition warned the players that they cannot afford to be
complacent with the AWC qualifiers which will also serve as the World
Cup qualifier.
"I have been mandated by the Federation to address
you on the need for all hands to be on deck towards achieving the task
of qualifying for the AWC to be hosted in Namibia.”
"We have a
very Herculean task ahead of us, only three teams will qualify to
represent Africa at the next FIFA women senior World Cup in Canada.
Countries like South Africa, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Ghana and
other upcoming countries are not lying low to see that they too qualify
for the World Cup.
"I know it is the dream of every player to
represent her country at the World Cup, so if you want to see yourself
qualify and play at the world stage you must be responsive and attentive
to whatever you are told to do by your coaches.
Sanusi however
asked the players, coaches and other officials to continue to work in
harmony as has been in camp since the team resume.
It will be
recalled that Super Falcons failed to defend their AWC title in the 2012
edition at Equatorial Guinea, after they were piped by a lone goal in
the third place match by Cameroon.
