Ahead of today’s return leg All Africa Games qualifying match against Mali in Abuja, Chairperson of the Nigeria National Women’s League and Executive Committee Member of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dilichukwu Onyedinma, has commanded the Super Falcons to go all out and bring glory to the country.
Onyedinma, who visited Super Falcons in their camp on Thursday evening, said she came to underscore the importance of Friday’s game and ticket to the AAG.
“This match looks simple because we know that we will always beat Mali, but then we will take it seriously because it is a qualifying match. I want you girls to show Nigerians that it was jet-lag that made you play 1-1 draw in Bamako. You girls must put a better show when they come calling on Friday,” she was quoted by thenff.com.
“This is now our turf and you must show Malians the stuff you are made of; that you are African Champions.”
Onyedinma however expressed delight over the arrival of some overseas-based players for the encounter, whilst appreciating their various clubs for releasing them for this crucial national assignment.
“I thank the clubs that released the girls to come and play. After tomorrow’s match, we will be able to assess the team for the World Cup. I know that, by the time we finish the qualifying matches and play a few friendly matches, we will be ready for World Cup glory,” she concluded.
