The Super Falcons of Nigeria will look to take a big step in their bid to return to the Olympic Games when they host longstanding rivals, South Africa on Friday (today).
The highly anticipated encounter will hold at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
Africa’s most successful side have failed to qualify for the olympics since the 2008 edition hosted in Beijing, China.
Randy Waldrum’s side are desperate to end the 16-year wait by getting the better of the South Africans.
The Falcons will be without two key players, Oluwatosin Demehin and Ashleigh Plumptre for the game.
Demehin and Plumptre are unavailable due to injury.
Waldrum have capable replacements to call upon and execute the task ahead. READ ALSO:
