Former Super Falcons star, Maureen Mmadu said the calibre of players selected by coach Edet Okon for the African Women Championship billed for October 11-25 in Namibia was good enough to regain the title.
Mmadu, a skillful player in her hey days stated that the blend of young and old players listed by the Falcons coach were the best in the country and despite the likely challenge from South Africa, Cameroon and Ghana, the Super Falcons will take the trophy they last won in 2010 in South Africa.
“I think the coach has invited players who want to fight for their country and we should respect that. It does matter whether they are old or young.
“That he invited only two of the Under-20 players does not matter. He only knows where he needed to fortify his team,” said Mmadu who won 100 caps with the Super Falcons.
She added that coach Okon should not show any weakness in his team selection.
“He should make his decision in picking the players without any fear or favour. He should build a team and not bank on individual players.
“He needs to keep his players fit and make them put the country first.”
Mmadu who is an assistant coach with Norwegian club Avaldsnes said it was about time Nigerians demanded for female coaches to handle the national women teams. She also enjoined former women footballers to take up coaching.
