Super Falcons head Coach, Randy Waldrum praised the commitment of his players as they continue preparations for the Women’s World Cup.

Falcons are currently camped at the Gold Coast training centre, Melbourne Australia ahead of the tournament.

The team will face Australia, Canada, and the Republic of Ireland in their ninth Women’s World Cup finals appearance.

“Well, as I said last week, I’m happy with the way training has gone. I think every day the effort has been there from everyone.

“I don’t know that I could single out any players particularly that’s been better, I think they’ve all been good, but I think Ifeoma (Onumonu) has looked really fit and sharp.

“Michelle Alozie has looked really sharp and fit, which you would expect during the middle of their seasons.

“I think a young player like Deborah (Abiodun) has looked really good in training as well. And then those that are just always solid, you know, like Osinachi (Ohale), Tony Payne and Asisat (Oshoala), those guys, they’ve all been just very, very solid in the way they’re performing. So I’m really pleased with the team and especially these last eight days now that we’ve had to train and prepare,” he said.

The 66 year-old gaffer also revealed they are going to be ready for the opening game.

“Well, today’s session is the game day minus one, so the day before match training. So it’s just some technical work at the beginning, and then we did some breakout play, working on a little bit of our countering. And then everything was set piece, it was a set piece day, just going through all defending corners, attacking corners, free kicks, that kind of thing.

“Not high intensity, but the things that you always would normally do the day before a match,” Waldrum said.
