Friday Ekpo calls for youthful infusion in Super Falcons After Olympic exit
By Saheed Afolabi
Former international Friday Ekpo has called for the introduction of more youngsters into the Nigeria women’s team following their disappointing performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the Super Falcons crashed out of the group stage without a win in three games.
Ekpo urged the Falcons to move past their Olympics disappointment and focus on preparing better for the 2025 WAFCON in Morocco.
“After this tournament, I think the team needs better preparation and introduction of young players in the Super Falcons,” Ekpo was quoted by Complete Sports.
“We should accept the reality that the team is out of the Olympic Games and focus on helping have a better showing at the 2025 WAFCON. The players must come home with their heads held high.”
The nine-time Africa champions scored one goal and conceded five, bowing out of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
