Super Falcons Qualify For Olympics First Time In 16 Years



The Super Falcons have qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

The last time Nigeria’s Super Falcons reached the Olympics was 16 years ago.
Nigeria beat South Africa 1-0 on aggregate to reach the Summer Olympics, as  Rasheedat Ajibade scored from the spot in the first leg of the qualifiers in Abuja on Friday, thus enabling the Nigerian team to 
 pick one of Africa’s tickets for the women’s football event of the Paris Olympics as the second leg tie ended goaless in South Africa.
Both teams have played several times since their 7-1 win against South Africa in a 1995 World Cup qualifier in Johannesburg. They have met 24 times with Nigeria winning 15, five ended in draws and South Africa claimed victory four times.
