Falcons star confident of win

By Daily Sports on April 7, 2016

Super Falcons stars Francisca Ordega and Desire Oparanozie are confident of a win over Senegal’s Teranga Lioness on Friday.

Nigeria’s women national team, the Super Falcons, will go toe to toe with Senegal in a 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifier in Dakar with the winners over two legs assured of a place in the final tournament in Cameroun.

Washington Spirit attacker Ordega and En Avant Guingamp forward Oparanozie are sounding bullish ahead of the first-leg clash which will take place at the Stade Demba Diop in Dakar.

“The spirit in the camp right now is quite positive and I am promising Nigerians that we won’t disappoint them,” Ordega said.

Oparanozie on her part said the Falcons will try to make Nigerians positive again following the failure of the men’s team, the Super Eagles, to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Gabon.

“I am not going to say it is not a good thing that the Super Eagles did not qualify for the Afcon.

“However, since that has happened we (Falcons) will do all we can to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians by qualifying for the women’s tournament,” she said.

The 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroun will begin on November 19 and end on December 3. (supersports.com)
