Executive committee member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Chairperson of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), Chief (Mrs) Dilichukwu Onyedinma, has said that she has an unshaken belief that the Super Falcons would bounce back into reckoning in the women’s football scene in the country, despite what she has described as temporary setback.

It would be recalled that the African Champion failed to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympics Women football event and also was stopped by Cameroon at the semi final of the All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville, thereby announcing the near death knell of the foremost of the Nigerian side.

“Let me say without mincing words that the team would bounce back decisively. We are not losing sight on ways to re-invent the team. The present technical crew is on standby. When it will fully be reconstituted, the crew would get down straight for work to throw up a solid side that would meet the dreams of Nigerians who have rallied round their darling flagship of women national teams. Plans are on, and it will surely come to fruition,’’ she said.

Mrs Onyedinma, who would not like to be drawn into how the anticipated and desired changes that would transform the team would be achieved, however, revealed that a seasoned coach would be engaged by the NFF to reorganise and rebuild the side for more effective exploits in her future engagements. According to her, whatever that would be done to bring the once dreaded side to life will be harnessed to the letter.

Her words: “The truth is that whatever that is happening to Super Falcons presently remains a temporary setback. It would be tackled headlong to give birth to Falcons of our dreams. The head coach would know what to do as the team is poised for repositioning.  Nigerians are no longer pleased with the performances of the once formidable terror team in African women football. And we in the NFF board are equally worried that the side is no longer a reliable one. We are determined to change the cause of such failed history for the positive, no matter the reason Danjuma has presented as being the cause of the team’s failure; it is unacceptable. Let me reassure that whatever problem(s) afflicting the side would summarily dealt with.” 

She believes that the rebuilding of the team would be holistic as fresh legs would be brought in to give those the coach would leave behind the needed bite to form new Falcons that would evolve to accomplish the set goal by Nigerians. She called on the fans to continue to be patient, as they await their dream Falcons side that would emerge sooner than later. She also debunked the report credited to the Cameroonian coach that the long dominance of the Nigerians in the scene permanently over.
