Speaking through the leader of delegation, Alhaji Babagana Kalli, the NFF told the Nigeria Women Football League champions to keep their eyes on the ball and take it one match at a time as they seek first to qualify for the knockout phase.
“I am impressed with the way you picked up morale and fought back from your defeat to the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa to overcome TP Mazembe. You have shown the true Nigerian spirit and the NFF and all Nigerians are happy about this.
“The NFF, the Bayelsa State Government and all football –loving Nigerians will continue to support and pray for you as you progress in the tournament. Only on Sunday, we celebrated the historic bronze medal-winning feat of the Flamingos at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in India.I have the belief that Nigerians will soon celebrate another historic moment in women’s football through Bayelsa Queens,” Gusau told the players and officials through Alhaji Babagana Kalli, who is a ranking NFF Board Member and FIFA and CAF Match Commissioner.
