NFF hosts Super Falcons ahead of World Cup journey

The Super Falcons will be looking to make history when they travel to Australia/New Zealand for the Mundial

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) hosted the Super Falcons to a dinner at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja ahead of their departure to Australia/New Zealand for the World Cup.

Soccernet.ng reports that the Super Falcons will make their ninth appearance at the FIFA World that begins on the 20th of July in Australia/New Zealand.

Despite their dominance on the continent with nine titles, Nigeria are under-achievers on the World stage as they have never passed the quarterfinals.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the team, especially with the back-and-forth between coach Randy Waldrum and the NFF.
