Francisca Ordega was almost unanimous in the first games of the Super Falcons’ campaign at the African Women Championship, which ended last Saturday in Windhoek Namibia.
But in the semi-final and final matches, she was more noticeable. It was her constant runs at the Cameroon defence that produced the two goals, which earned the Super Falcons their seventh AWC title. “I was forced to raise my game after my coach challenged me. He said, Ordega this is not the real you, go out there and show everybody what you have,”
“He was my coach at the 2011 FIFA women world cup in Japan. In the final game against Cameroon I really had to wake up and show my stuff. I am glad that my contributions earned us the trophy, “said Ordega. She was one of the three professional players invited by coach Edwin Okon for the AWC. A. She stated that the Falcons will be aiming to do well at the FIFA Women World Cup in Canada next year. She called on the Nigeria Football Federation to keep the team busy by organizing quality friendly games for the African champions if they are to make the country proud at the at the world level.”
