Top coaches will make falcons compete well on the world stage – Oshoala 

Newly crowned CAF Female Footballer of the year, Asisat

Oshoala says the Nigeria Football Federation must hire a

top professional coach for the Super Falcons in order to

challenge with other great teams in World football.

The former Arsenal and Liverpool star, who is currently

lacing her boot for Chinese side, Dalian Quanjian has

enjoyed a great height for both club and country.

Having won the golden ball and the golden boot at the

2014 Under-20 Women’s World Cup as Nigeria finished

runners-up – added to an African Cup of Nations winner’s

medal the same year – Oshoala has started to turn heads

internationally.

She revealed that for the Super Falcons to reach the highest

peak of football like other countries such as Germany,

Japan, USA and South Korea, the NFF must hire a very

good coach.

“We don’t want to be sharing with the men’s team anymore

and waiting for the funds to be able to do things,” she

said.

“We need our own committees that can run things for the

women. We also need top professional coaches. Football

is getting harder. There are a lot of teams out there that are

getting better every year. We need to do everything within

our reach to move forward, keep people in Africa and make

us strong enough to compete on a world stage.”
