After s back and forth over his contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Randy Waldrum is back as the head coach of the Super Falcons.
Randy Waldrum announced his return to the Nigerian women’s team by announcing the squad he will use to execute the 2024 Olympic Games third qualifying round fixture against Cameroon.
Recall that Waldrum returned to his home country, the United States of America, after the Super Falcons crashed out of the 2023 Women’s World Cup in the round of 16.
He had to return to the US because he was out of contract and the NFF was not forthcoming with a new deal.
It seems everything has been settled as he announced a 21-women roster that will execute a 2-legged 2024 Olympic Games third qualifying round tie against Cameroon later this month.
Randy Waldrum and his girls will travel to Douala, Cameroon to take on the Cameroonian women in the first leg of the tie on Friday, February 23.
The second leg of the tie will be played at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Monday, February 26.
