Some players of the Super Falcons of Nigeria escaped an elevator crisis in Bordeaux, France on Saturday.
In a now-viral video of the incident, at least seven players
were trapped in the malfunctioned elevator awaiting help at Hotel Mercure in
Bordeaux.

The Super Falcons are representing Nigeria at the Paris 2024
Olympics women’s football event.
The team arrived in Bordeaux on Thursday from Sevilla,
Spain, where they had been fine-tuning preparations for the Olympics.
While returning to their hotel rooms, however, the players
were stuck in the elevator for minutes due to a technical glitch.
“God abeg o,” a player retorted in pidgin English as they
awaited an emergency rescue that arrived minutes into the video.
“If I survive this
one, see that stares, if I no pieces am,” another player promised as they were
being evacuated from the elevator.
Asisat Oshoala, Tochukwu Oluehi, and Uchenna Kanu were some
of the players identified in the footage.
The Paris 2024 Olympics will begin on June 26 with an
opening ceremony on the Seine River in Paris. The Super Falcons will face
Brazil in their opening match on the same day in Bordeaux.
