Aisha Falode, President of the Nigeria Women Football League
(NWFL), has said the Super Eagles players are willing to die on the pitch in
tonight’s 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff against the Black Stars of Ghana at the
Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi.
She said this in an interview with the team’s media officer
at their training camp in Kumasi, where the Super Eagles will face Ghana.
Falode also hailed the Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare, and
the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, for providing
Super Eagles with a five-star hotel.
“We really must thank the President of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick and the Honourable Minister of Sports for
giving the Super Eagles and indeed all the national teams football this kind of
an arrangement that is unprecedented.
“They have travelled in star and accommodated in a five-star
hotel and you must remember that once this place was named as the venue on
Wednesday, on Thursday, Amaju Pinnick made sure he got some of us on a flight
to come and pay a visit and value the facility. As a result of that visit, we
can change the hotel from what was proposed before to a five-star hotel that we
are in now. Of course, you can see the beautiful stadium, natural grass, good
ambience and today we are going to have a packed stadium.
“If you go outside the stadium, see the numbers of
Nigerians, some of them tying the national flags on their waist. Some of them
are waving it. It means that Nigerians will be here in Kumasi in their numbers
today. The boys are willing to die on the pitch and deliver.”
Meanwhile, after the match in Kumasi, the Super Eagles will
host Ghana in the return leg in Abuja on Tuesday.
