Coach Randy Waldrum, at the helm of Nigeria's Super Falcons, has issued a stern caution to his team as they brace for a showdown against South Africa's Banyana Banyana in the final round of the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifiers.
Following a hard-fought victory over Cameroon, securing their spot in the crucial stage of qualification, Waldrum stressed the formidable threat posed by the defending African champions. Emphasizing South Africa's attacking prowess, particularly their talented frontline, the veteran coach expressed respect for their opponents while exuding confidence in his squad's abilities.
However, both teams face setbacks with key players unavailable due to various reasons. Despite this, Waldrum remains optimistic, highlighting the depth of his team and their preparedness for the challenge ahead. The stage is set for an intense first-leg clash at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja, with the return fixture scheduled at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
The victor will secure a coveted spot in Group C at the Olympics, alongside Spain, Brazil, and Japan, adding further stakes to this high-stakes encounter.
