The Nigeria Football Federation has revealed plans to reshuffle the technical team of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons ahead of next year’s Women African Cup of Nations finals slated for Morocco.

Randy Waldrum’s women qualified for the second round of the qualifiers by defeating their Ghanaian counterparts 2-1 on aggregate despite a 1-0 loss in Accra on Sunday.

While the NFF congratulated the team for reaching the final round of the qualification series, the General Secretary of the NFF, Dr Mohammed Sanusi said that the NFF has concluded arrangements to reinvigorate the team technically, and also strengthen the playing body.

The football association contended that there is room for improvement in the team’s entire output over the two legs of the fixture with the Black Queens.

“I will start by congratulating the team for the victory over the Black Queens of Ghana. It was a sweet one given the rivalry between our two countries in the game, which dates back to 70 years. Notwithstanding, there are deficiencies that we must deal with squarely and without any ambiguity in order that the team will be ready for the challenges ahead.

“The Super Falcons can, and should, exhibit far greater marksmanship. We have the players at home and abroad to outrun and outplay any team on the African continent, and even compete favourably on the world stage. That is why we have to make the move to reinvigorate the team ahead of the final round of qualifiers against Cote d’Ivoire. The rejuvenation is with an objective for better focus, commitment and productivity.”

Waldrum’s side will slug it out with rivals Cote d’Ivoire in the second round of the qualifiers for the 2022 WAFCON in February 2022.

The Lady Elephants walloped the Niger Republic 11-0 (20-0 on aggregate) in the second leg of their first-round contest in Abidjan on Monday.

Nigeria will be wary of their Ivorian counterpart who eliminated them from the race to the Women’s Football Tournament of the Tokyo Olympic Games which held two months ago.
