Super Falcons miss World Cup for the first time ever
Nigeria's Super Falcons have been eliminated from the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup after a 2-1 loss to South Africa's Banyana Banyana in the African play-off (Casablanca, Aug 13).
⚽ Kgatlana opened scoring in the 56th minute and Jane doubled it in the 77th minute.
⚽ Ucheibe pulled one back from the spot but it came a little, too late
This comes days after a shock 1-0 WAFCON quarter-final exit to Cameroon — Nigeria's first-ever failure to reach the semis.
For a team that's featured at every Women's World Cup since it began, this is uncharted, painful territory.
The question on the lips of many football loving Nigerians is “what is wrong with our football industry and how do we rebuild”?
Recall that even the Super Eagles were absent from the FIFA World Cup in July and our youth teams are also not performing as they should.
A rebuild is needed. What do you think about these recent happenings?
