Rashidat Ajibade, captain of the Nigerian Super Falcons, has voiced serious concerns about the National Football Federation’s (NFF) delayed preparation for the upcoming WAFCON tournament. This comes amidst her unwavering commitment to grassroots football, where she selflessly supports struggling children.
Ajibade’s frustration highlights a stark contrast in treatment between the Super Falcons and their male counterparts. Despite the women’s team bringing significant glory to Nigeria, it appears the NFF prioritizes the male team in terms of attention and resources. This disparity is fueling understandable anger within the squad.
The need for better sport development and accountability within the NFF is clear. With outstanding bonuses still unpaid, the players deserve transparency and fair treatment. It’s time for the NFF to put its house in order, recognize football as a major business, and ensure the Super Falcons receive the preparation they need to succeed.
