It is crucial, according to Super Falcons coach Randy Waldrum, for the team to be well-prepared for the 2024 Olympic Games.
The team from Africa, which has won nine times, earned a spot in the Olympics for the first time in 16 years. They won by a small margin against the team from South Africa. The Super Falcons will play against Spain, Japan, and Brazil in Group C in Paris 2024.
Waldrum asked his team to get ready in Europe for the competition.
“My plea is to help us to prepare properly, we need to camp in Europe, we need proper training, proper transportation, we need to do things right,” Waldrum said after the game against Banyana Banyana in Pretoria.”
Former Super Falcons player Desire Oparanozie said the team is not scared of playing against Spain, Japan, and Brazil in the 2024 Olympic Games.
Oparanozie said that the Super Falcons can make it to the next round even though they are in a tough group.
“It’s a tough group, Spain are world champions, Japan were previous world champions and Brazil are a household name in the game,” Oparanozie said.
“But I believe in the team, we will do well at the Olympics, the girls will show what they are made up of, they will make themselves proud.”
The Super Falcons will play against Brazil in their first match at the Paris 2024 games.
