Super Falcons at the Paris 2024 Olympics
Led by the peerless and multi-African Player of the Year winner Asisat Oshoala, the Falcons have a bonafide goalscorer and a player who has performed at the highest level.
There are other stars including Atletico Madrid star Rasheedat Ajibade, Jennifer Echegini, Michelle Alozie, and standout goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
Yes, they're in a tough group alongside Brazil, Spain, and Japan, but the Super Falcons will be for the challenge, perhaps drawing inspiration from the men's team, who won gold in 1996.
Despite the 1-0 defeat to Canada in their last warm-up game, Waldrum has said the team is preparing well, and are ready to take on the best in the world.
With an abundance of talent at their disposal, this Nigerian team appears poised for greatness. It's only a matter of time before they make a serious push for global glory.
The Paris 2024 Olympics could be the perfect launching pad for the Falcons, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Nigerian football history.
