Nigeria’s women’s football team, the Falcons, clinched a hard-fought 1-0 aggregate win against Cameroon in the third round of Olympic qualifiers.
Despite a goalless draw in Douala, Nigeria sealed their victory with Esther Okoronkwo’s first-half goal at the Moshood Abiola Stadium.
Okoronkwo’s decisive strike came after a remarkable solo run by Jennifer Echegini, cementing Nigeria’s path to the final round of qualifiers.
Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie’s crucial saves thwarted Cameroon’s attempts to equalize, ensuring Nigeria’s progression.
Next up, the Super Falcons will face either Tanzania or South Africa for a chance to represent Africa at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
This victory marks Nigeria’s potential return to the Olympic stage after appearances in 2000, 2004, and 2008.
