Reports circulating in Nigerian media suggest the inclusion of 41-year-old Onome Ebi and veteran forward Francisca Ordega in the Super Falcons squad list for the Summer Olympics, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Super Falcons secured their 2024 Olympic tickets for the first time in 16 years following their victory against the Banyana Banyana of South Africa, which has placed them in a group with Spain, Brazil, and Japan for the tournament.
With only a few weeks to the start of the Olympics, reports indicate that some Nigeria Football Federation officials are attempting to include Ebi and Ordega in Randy Waldrum's squad list.
Soccernet.ng examines this issue and presents four reasons why these two players should not be considered for the tournament.
Age FactorIt's time for veteran defender Ebi to consider retiring from the Super Falcons squad following her nine-minute participation in the 2023 Women's World Cup. Ebi, who turned 41 in May, has had a distinguished career as a defender.
