Omagbemi: Falcons’ll not under-rate any team

By Daily Sports on September 21, 2016

Cup holders Super Falcons of Nigeria will not under –rate any of the other finalists when the 10th Africa Women Cup of Nations kicks off in Cameroon on 19th November, says Coach Florence Omagbemi.

The longest –serving captain of the Super Falcons was installed as Head Coach early this year and has already experienced triumph, steering the seven –time African champions past Senegal over two legs to earn them a spot in Cameroon.

Alongside other Falcons legends Ann Chiejine and Perpetua Nkwocha, Omagbemi has somewhat restructured a squad that failed to qualify for the women’s football tournament of this year’s Olympics and lost to Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoire at the 11th All-Africa Games in Brazzaville last year, imbuing it with greater morale.

After Sunday’s draw that housed the Falcons in Group B of the 10th Africa Women Cup of Nations alongside Mali, Ghana and debutants Kenya, ‎Omagbemi told thenff.com: "We have been playing against Ghana’s Black Queens for years. I remember when the Falcons team was newly established, our first game in the qualification series for the 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup was against Ghana.

“We have played against Mali before, and we know they are no pushovers. Now, Kenya are coming to the African championship for the first time, but from the way they qualified, after beating Algeria, they must be respected. (thenff.com)
