“Women’s football is still a work in progress but I think we are getting somewhere. With more competitions for the ladies like the recently concluded NWPL pro-league play-offs I think we will get somewhere,” he said in Lokoja after the play-offs.

For the third time running in 12 years and the second consecutive time under the tutelage of Chris Danjuma (2015 and 2019) the multiple African Champions, the Super Falcons of Nigeria will not be at the women’s football event of the Olympic games.

This happened after Nigeria played out a goalless against the Ivorians in Abidjan only to then end the return leg 1-1 at the Agege Soccer Temple in Lagos as the Francophone team progressed to the fourth round on away goals.
