NFF ‘needs to do better’ for Super Falcons – Oparanozie

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has been called out by former Super Falcons captain, Desire Oparanozie, for its lack of support and investment in women’s football.

Oparanozie, who currently plays for FC Dijon in France, believes that the NFF needs to do more to develop and promote the women’s game in Nigeria.

In a recent interview, Oparanozie expressed her disappointment with the treatment of the Super Falcons compared to the men’s national team, the Super Eagles.

She highlighted issues such as poor facilities, inadequate funding, and unequal pay for female players as areas where the NFF needs to improve.

Oparanozie also called on the NFF to provide better coaching and development programs for women’s teams at all levels.

Despite these challenges, Oparanozie remains optimistic about the future of women’s football in Nigeria and believes that with the right support, the Super Falcons can achieve great success on the international stage.

She emphasized the importance of nurturing young talent and creating opportunities for girls to participate in the sport from a young age.

Oparanozie’s comments have sparked a conversation about gender equality and representation in Nigerian football, with many calling for the NFF to prioritize the development of women’s teams.

As one of the most successful female footballers in Nigeria, Oparanozie’s words carry weight and are a reminder of the challenges that women face in the male-dominated world of sports.

It is hoped that the NFF will take Oparanozie’s criticisms to heart and make meaningful changes to support and empower the Super Falcons and women’s football in Nigeria as a whole.
