NFF general secretary, Mohammed Sanusi tasks Falconets on WC ticket

NFF general secretary, Mohammed Sanusi has called on Falconets to fight hard for the 2016 Fifa U-20 Women's World Cup ticket against South Africa’s Basetsana in Johannesburg.
The African qualifying final round fixture between both countries is delicately poised after the Falconets won the first leg 2-1 in Abuja meaning Sunday’s clash at the Makhulong Stadium in Tembisa on the suburbs of South Africa’s commercial and industrial capital will be explosive.

Sanusi, who is with the Falconets in South Africa, said on Saturday that the reigning world vice champions must fight hard from the first blast of the whistle till the end.
"You must go out there on Sunday to prove that Nigeria’s pedigree in women football is no fluke.
"South Africa also invest big in women’s football and recently qualified for next year’s Olympics but the truth is no African country has achieved what Nigeria achieved in the women’s game.
“As reigning world vice champions we must go out and prove our superiority on the field tomorrow (Sunday).
The ticket to Papua New Guinea is a must as Nigerians back home are expecting you to book your flight to that country for the final tournament," said Sanusi to www.thenff.com.
The Falconets take on the Basetsana South African on Sunday and coach Peter Dedevbo says his side will approach it like a ‘Cup final'.
“The result from the first leg is in the past and we don’t dwell in the past. On Sunday our objective is to go all out and grab the World Cup ticket," said Dedevbo.
The Falconets have never failed to qualify for the Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup since it was launched in Canada 13 years ago with two runners-up positions (2010 and 2014), fourth place finish in 2012 and quarterfinal berths in Thailand (2004), Russia (2006) and Chile (2008).
