Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum, has spoken up for the first time about issues bedeviling the team and fingered Nigeria Football Federation officials in the instances.

Waldrum spoke in a chat with John Krysinky Podcast, and painted a gloomy picture in respect to his working relationship with the Nigeria Football Federation.

Ahead of the team’s campaign at the World Cup next month, the 66 year-old revealed some of the irregularities that he has endured in the course of the job.

“After the loss in Morocco (WAFCON 2022), the players hadn’t been paid so they boycotted training before the match against Zambia.

“My backup goalkeeper (Tochukwu Oluehi) spoke to the federation about not getting paid and they didn’t like how she spoke so they dismissed her from the national team. they eventually let her back only if she wrote an apology letter.”

“They wanted me to pick a goalkeeper from Nigeria for the world cup that I have never seen, who has never been in one of our camps.

“I said no, that my contract says I pick my teams so they retaliated and said that I can’t take my assistant coach (Lauren Gregg).”

He also voiced his concerns about the shoddy preparation ahead of the World Cup.

“We have less days than a college preseason to prepare for the world cup and it blows my mind because we’ve known about this since last year.”
