President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Ibrahim Gusau, has praised the Falconets for their performance despite their loss to the Black Princesses of Ghana in the women’s football final. The Falconets, led by Chris Danjuma, took the lead in the first half with a goal from Loveth Edeh, but the Black Princesses fought back to secure a 2-1 victory.
Gusau commended the team for their skills and teamwork throughout the competition, acknowledging that they gave their best but fell short of retaining their title. He encouraged them to shift their focus to the upcoming FIFA World Cup finals later this year, emphasizing the importance of aiming to win the trophy for the first time.
While the NFF and Nigerians had high expectations for the Falconets to defend their title, Gusau urged the team to move forward and concentrate on the World Cup. He assured them of the federation’s full support in preparing for the tournament and facing the top teams in Colombia.
The Falconets may have missed out on the gold medal, but their determination and talent have not gone unnoticed. As they set their sights on the World Cup, the NFF stands ready to back them in their quest for glory on the global stage.
