Dalian Quanjian FC of China striker, Asisat Oshoala, has condemned in its entirety Super Falcons lack of games since winning the African Women Cup of Nations last December in Cameroon.
The former Arsenal Ladies star took to Twitter on Tuesday to query the team’s inactivity in eight months.
“Over 8 months without regrouping. THIS IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE. What Is Our Vision? We need an explanation,” she posted on her Twitter handle.
Oshoala was joined a few hours later by fellow striker, Desire Oparanozie, who weighed in on her Instagram page: “Over 8 months indeed. Since after Nations cup no form of regrouping whatsoever.
“Which way Nigeria Football Federation? Other African nations have caught up with us, we’re still a shadow of ourselves on the world stage….yet it doesn’t bother the people leading us.
“Let’s build for the younger generation. We need international/quality friendlies #WeSpeakInOneVoice #ThisIsNoLongerAcceptable #EqualTreatment #NFF #CAF #FIFA.”
Our checks however revealed that Nigeria has no major tournaments to take part in until 2018, when they will defend their African title. They then have two world competitions to qualify for and potentially play in, namely the Women’s World Cup in 2019 and the Olympic Games in 2020.
