Former Super Falcons coach, Edwin Okon has encouraged the team to stay positive after their 1-0 defeat to Brazil in their opening match at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Okon praised the team’s efforts and urged them to focus on their upcoming matches instead of dwelling on the loss.
He believes the team can still advance from the group stage if they learn from their mistakes and remain determined.
“I congratulate them for only losing 1-0. They should look ahead to the next match, fix their mistakes, and stay hopeful,” Okon said.
“They should lift their heads, aim for a win, and remember that if we win all our matches, we can still advance from the group.”
The Super Falcons will next face the defending champions, who previously defeated Japan 2-1.
Currently, Spain and Brazil lead Group B with 3 points each, while Japan and Nigeria have no points.
The upcoming games are crucial for the Super Falcons as they strive to progress in the tournament.
