2019 FIFA WWC: NFF engage fitness trainer, match reader for Super Falcons

Super Falcons of Nigeria celebrate their victory in Ghana

Super Falcons Coach Thomas Dernneby, determined to make a major impact at this year's FIFA Women's World Cup in France, has requested and gotten the approval of the Nigeria Football  Federation (NFF) to engage two more technical staff, fitness
trainer and match reader.

The duo were part of the team’s technical crew to the just ended Cyprus cup where Falcons finished in the 7th place.

The request to engage the two technical hands was actually made shortly after the African women Nations Cup in Ghana which the team won for the 9th time.

Despite winning the championship then, many analysts and soccer fans in the country alike insisted in a chat with SportingLife that although the team emerged victorious, the quality of play needed to be improved  if the team is to stand up to the challenges that will be posed by  opponents at the world cup in France.

In the course two tournaments Falcons suffered some massive defeats first 3-0 defeat in the hands of China at the Invitational and 4-1 defeat by Austria and at the Cyprus cup respectively.

The team however did not fail to equally make mincemeat of some opponents like their 3-0 defeat of Thailand to clinch the 7th place in Cyprus.

Nigeria have been drawn alongside host nation France, South Korea and Norway at the World Women Football Tournament (France 2019). According to FIFA, tickets for the match between France and Nigeria have already been sold out.
