Godfrey Esu blasts NFF over Super Falcons ‘uncelebrated’ departure for FIFA World Cup (Guardian)

Veteran coach, Godfrey Esu is unhappy with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the unceremonious departure of the Super Falcons’ to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup holding in France.

The nine times African Champions, who just won the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Cup in Abidjan, left for Austria on Sunday for the final phase of their preparations for World Cup.

The team will leave Austria for France, venue of the World Cup on Tuesday, June 4, four days before their Group A opener against Norway in Reims. The girls are currently at the Avita Resort in Austria, same venue where the Super Eagles had their final training sessions before hitting Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals.
