BREAKING: Super Falcons Qualify For Paris Olympics
SIXTEEN years after they last appeared in the Olympic Games, the Super Falcons of Nigeria will now hoist the country’s flag in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games courtesy of its victory against the Bayana Bayana of South Africa.
Nigeria beat South Africans 1-0 on aggregate to reach the Summer Olympics.
Rasheedat Ajibade scored from the spot in the first leg of the qualifiers in Abuja on Friday.
That goal was enough for the Super Falcons to pick one of Africa’s tickets for the women’s football event of the Paris Olympics as the second leg tie ended goalless in South Africa.
The last time Nigeria’s Super Falcons reached the Olympics was 16 years ago.
