African Games: Falconets Aim for Gold

Nigeria’s U20 WNT head coach, Chris Danjuma has affirmed the team’s unwavering focus on defending their gold medal in the women’s football event at the 13th African Games.

The resolve comes on the heels of a convincing 2-0 victory over Uganda on Monday night, propelling Nigeria into a final showdown against rivals, Ghana.

 

 

Under Danjuma’s guidance, the holders have maintained a flawless record in the competition, triumphing in all three encounters thus far.

Impressively, the Falconets have netted a total of eight goals while keeping a clean sheet throughout the tournament.

“We should have put away some of the chances we created in the first half, but we are happy to get two second-half goals and reach the final.

“”It is an opportunity to retain our gold medal from the last edition in Morocco and we will do everything to win and make Nigerians happy,” he told thenff.com.

Notably, Ghana emerged victorious in the previous encounter between the two teams during the final of the WAFU B U-20 Championship last year.

However, Danjuma remains undeterred, and argues that the team is fully prepared to face Ghana in the upcoming final.

“In as much as we are not thinking about revenge, we know that we have unfinished business with Ghana. Our primary objective is to retain our gold medal in the African Games and by doing that, we would have sorted out the unfinished business,” He concluded.
