Four Players To Get Just Treatment For Being Instrumental In The Team’s Struggles – NFF Coach
Super Falcons coach Randy Waldrum has revealed four players who he claims have been instrumental in the team’s struggles to get their just treatment from the Nigerian football federation.
In a podcast interview,he mentioned desire oparanozie, Osisat Oshoala in ensuring that the super falcons received what they were due.
The coach also noted that captain Onome Ebi had on occasion lent her voice to the cause of the super falcons with the NFF.
Waldrum also recalled Tochi Oluehi, who dared to speak up during the players’ strike that rocked the 2022 women’s AFCON, where the Super Falcons finished fourth after losing to Zambia in the third-place playoff.
However, Waldrum, however, noted that other players could not be blamed for failing to speak up in like manner, after watching the consequences meted out to those who dared to challenge the NFF.

Waldrum explained the debacle at the Women’s AFCON saying, “Then, with what happened at AFCON… one of our goalkeepers, Tochi [Oluehi] stood up in the team meeting, when they were boycotting and spoke her mind, and they dismissed her.
“They didn’t like that. She didn’t go public, this was said in the confines of the team meeting room. After AFCON, she was not allowed into any of the other camps. I finally convinced them to let her back in, but she had to write a letter of apology and all of these things.
“These are some players, those four, I can tell you, speak out and speak for the team, and I’m really proud of them.”
Waldrum, however, noted that other players could not be blamed for failing to speak up in like manner after watching the consequences meted out to those who dared to challenge the NFF, saying, “The others have seen what has happened to them, and they fear coming out publicly because they have seen an example, if you speak out publicly, you get dismissed.”
As the tensions continue between Waldrum and the NFF, fans of the Super Falcons will be hoping that the team remains unaffected as they start their World Cup campaign in Australia on the 21st of July against Canada.
