More cheering news for Nigerian women’s football in what has been a wonderful March in this spectrum.
The ladies’ game is surely moving in the right direction.
Just for the Falconets to do the business against Senegal in tomorrow’s qualifier so as to rubber stamp their participation at the World Cup later in the year and cap off a fabulous passage of time.
Nobody is talking about the Falconets’ match tomorrow as it has been overshadowed by this evening’s titanic clash against Ghana.
Next stop will then be for the Falcons to trade blows with Canada in the double header friendlies bill for early April where I have no doubt that they will continue to do the nation proud.
Great news;
Even more happy with upward trajectory of our female side.
Hopefully we keep taking the right steps and fortify.
It can only get better.
Using this opportunity to wish the Super Eagles the best tonight.
Positive expectation.
Kudos ladies
