Posted by Rasheedat Ajibade, captain of the Super Falcons, has urged the Nigerian people to have faith in her team’s abilities as they prepare to face the Banyana Banyana in a heated match in Pretoria on Tuesday night. The team lands in South Africa on Sunday night.
The first leg took place in Abuja on Friday, with Ajibade scoring a penalty kick to give Nigeria a 1-0 win over the visitors. With everything on the line in the return match in the administrative capital of South Africa, the Atletico Madrid star says his team will be motivated to win because the faith of more than 200 million Nigerians in them is unshakeable.
There is no mistaking our reality. A huge and difficult battle lies ahead. The only thing separating us from the illusive Olympic ticket is 90 minutes, so we want to make the most of that time
Let the Nigerian people have faith in the Super Falcons. Aspirations of competing in the Olympics serve as a driving force for the athletes. With the exception of the Olympics, I have competed in every imaginable tournament. Now is the moment to act.
