The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has set up a fact-finding committee to look into the poor run of the country’s National Teams in international competitions, as the Super Falcons also failed to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals.
Ten-time champions and holders of the Women Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Falcons were booted out of the ongoing 14th edition of the competition in Morocco at the quarter-final stage.
And then Nigeria fell 2-1 to South Africa in a playoff to enter into the Inter-Confederations Playoffs scheduled for later this year.
It means that Nigeria, the supreme power of African women’s football, will not be at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals to be staged in Brazil. The Super Falcons were at every edition since the competition was launched in 1991.
Former NFF General Secretary, Fanny Amun, heads the committee that also has former Nigeria U20 tactician and president of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association, Coach Ladan Bosso; former Super Falcons’ captain, multiple Women AFCON winner and FIFA World Cup star Desire Oparanozie.
