NFF President Amaju Pinnick has charged the Super Falcons and the U-23 boys to do the nation proud as both teams negotiate tough bends in the race to next year’s Olympics.
Pinnick was at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport early on Thursday to receive the Falcons as as they arrived Lagos, on their way to Bata, where they clash with their Equatorial Guinean counterparts on Sunday.
The Falcons have a battle on their hands, having only drawn the first leg at home 1-1 against the only other substantial rival they have on the African continent.
Pinnick also sent a message to the U-23 boys, who were led out of the country on Thursday afternoon by NFF 1st Vice President Seyi Akinwunmi. They play their Congo-Brazzaville counterparts in the final match of the qualifying race for the African U-23 Championship, where Africa's representatives to next year's Olympics will emerge.
