Olushola Ogunnowo, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Nationwide League One (NLO), says the Super Falcons have impressed so far with their performance at the ongoing 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Ogunnowo told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja that the team would only need to be more focused if they eventually advance to the Round of 16.
He added that Nigerian senior national female football at the ongoing 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France are still waiting to know their fate.
The team which finished third in Group A of the competition’s first round may not know their opponents until the end of all first round matches on Thursday.
Ogunnowo commended the Falcons in spite of their loss to France in their last group match, pointed out that the team had performed brilliantly so far.
“The Falcons really fought well in the game. We should be grateful to our goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, for the great work she did and to the entire team for the work well done”, he said
However, Ogunnowo urged the Falcons to be more focused as they go on, and in the event of their qualification.
“They need to continue with the same spirit shown in their last match, so that they will finish in a good position at the end of the World Cup,’’ he said.
