CHAIRPERSON Nigeria Women Football and board member Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chief Mrs Dilichukwu Onyed­imma, has expressed hap­piness over the qualifica­tion of the Female U-20 team, the Falconets, de­scribing it as the capping of the myriad of achieve­ments she recorded during her successful tenure.

Speaking to Daily Sun­sports on telephone after motivating the team to victory against their South African counterpart, On­yedimma boasted that it is now on record that all the female national teams qualified for continental and international tourna­ments during her reign ex­cept the Super Falcons that missed Olympic ticket by the whiskers.
Onyedimma, who was basking in the glory of the successful organiza­tion of the highly-rated Female League Super-Six hosted by the Abia State government at the Umua­hia Township Stadium last weekend, thundered that the qualification of Falconets has made her a more fulfilled person.
“What can I say again. It is really a sweet victory for women football especially as the ticket came shortly after organizing a stan­dard Female League Su­per-Six hosted by the Abia State government. I never doubted what my girls can do but it is good that pick­ing the ticket has proved doubters very wrong.
“I make bold to say that my regime as chairperson women football has set standard in the annals of Nigerian Women football. I am particularly happy that the female national teams qualified for almost all the major continental and international tourna­ment with the exception of Super Falcons missing Olympic Games ticket.
“Considering the cir­cumstances and chal­lenges women football is facing in the country, we can conveniently hold our heads high as achievers. It is really a pity that our detractors have failed to acknowledge these feats because selfish and pri­mordial sentiments, but we will continue to wax stron­ger and stronger.”
