Nigeria Women’s Football League chief, Aisha Falode has suggested the Super Falcons will be expected to do well in France having been provided one of the most thorough preparations for a World Cup like their male counterparts.
With invitational tournaments in China, Cyprus and a few more when the team head out to Spain for their pre tournament camp, the Falcons would have had their best world cup preparation since 1991.
Falode told brila.net the NFF is providing a level playing field for the women as it has done with the men over the years.
‘We know they’ve had preparations like never before in the weeks and months going to the World Cup proper.
‘They’ve gone to an invitational in China, they’ve gone to Cyprus, they’re preparing to go to Spain to play some friendlies after which they go to their camp in Austria to also play friendlies; so the preparation is as thorough as the men.
‘So we must give kudos to the leadership of the Nigeria football federation, because they’ll know now that Women’s football deserve to have the same kind of attention, the same kind of playing field. We deserve all the incentives that you give to the men for good performance.’
