2027 WWC Playoffs: Olopade Backs Super Falcons For Victory Over South Africa

Director General of the National Sports Commission, NSC, Bukola Olopade has charged the Super Falcons to go for victory against Banyana Banyana of South Africa.

The Super Falcons will take on Desire Ellis’ side in a highly anticipated 2027 FIFA Women’s World cup playoff match at the Moulay Rachid Stadium, Casablanca on Thursday (today).

Nigeria lost 1-0 to the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon in the quarter-final of the ongoing 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Falcons, however still have a big chance to qualify for the 2027 World cup via the inter-confederation playoff.

Olopade charged the Super Falcons to quickly put the disappointment of their quarter-final defeat behind them and channel all their energy, and focus into tonight’s clash against South Africa.

“The Super Falcons remains Africa’s biggest football brand and the pride of the continent, therefore the rare loss to Cameroon should not define them because we know how good they are,” Olopade told the NSC media.

“The girls have brought us tremendous joy over the years and I want them to know that Nigerians are definitely behind them, more than ever before, even as they play this crucial game tonight”.
