NFF Executive Committee member Aisha Falode has encouraged Nigerians to maintain faith in the Super Falcons after their recent loss to Malawi. Despite the disappointing result, she emphasized that the team’s history of resilience and excellence remains intact.
Falode noted that the players and technical staff are more affected by the loss than anyone else, as they feel the weight of representing Nigeria. She insisted that this single setback does not undermine the squad’s talent or their primary goals of qualifying for the FIFA Women’s World Cup and winning an 11th WAFCON trophy.
According to Falode, facing challenges is a natural part of any successful sporting journey. She pointed out that the team has previously overcome adversity to maintain its status as Africa’s top football program. She called on the public to offer encouragement rather than criticism, arguing that true fans support their team even when results do not go their way.
Addressing the players directly, she reminded them of their duty as role models to young girls across the nation. She urged the squad to rely on their experience, discipline, and unity to bounce back in their upcoming matches, asserting her full belief that they can still succeed in the tournament.
