Nigeria’s Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, is gearing up for a challenging encounter against the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon in the 2024 Olympic qualifier. The upcoming match, taking place at the Stade de la Reunification in Douala, presents a pivotal moment for the Super Falcons as they strive to secure a spot at the Olympics, having missed out on the previous three editions.
Expressing caution and acknowledging the formidable strength of the Cameroonian team, Nnadozie emphasized the need for her teammates to prepare mentally and physically for an arduous battle. “It’s a very tough encounter awaiting us against Cameroon,” remarked the Paris FC goalie. “They’re a very good team, composed of very experienced players. We need to be cautious, but I have great confidence in my team.”
Despite the Super Falcons holding a favorable head-to-head record against their rivals, with a recent victory at the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations, Nnadozie stressed the importance of not relying solely on past achievements. “We shouldn’t dwell on our past victories against them,” she insisted. “We need to stay focused, train harder, work harder, and stick together. By doing so, we can beat them, I believe.”
As the Super Falcons brace themselves for this crucial match, Nnadozie’s words serve as a reminder of the determination and resilience required to overcome significant challenges on the path to Olympic qualification.
