Super Falcons assistant coach Maureen Mmadu has described the maiden women pre-season tournament under the auspices of South-Africa-based Queens Football Consult (QFC) as a good omen for the development of the game in Nigeria.


The four-day tournament being held in Akure amongst Sunshine Queens, Bayelsa Queens, Phoenix , Royaltoms and Edo Queens would come to an end Sunday in Akure and the former Nigerian international said such event can only helped the growth of the game.

Mmadu, a veteran of four FIFA World Cups with the Super Falcons in her heyday, stated: "I think everybody involved in this tournament is a winner."

“This is the first pre-season tournament organised by Queens Football Consult for women clubs in Nigeria and I’m so impressed."

Meanwhile, Mmadu noted that Nigeria would continue to maintain its preeminent position in women football should conglomerate embrace women football as did global energy brand AITEO that guaranteed the sum of N10 million naira (about) for winners of the women’s national cup.

"I think Nigeria is still the number one women’s football country in Africa.

“The truth is that we (Nigerians) embraced women’s football earlier than most African countries and that is why you have so much talent all over the country."
