Paris 2024: Super Falcons depart to Bordeaux on Thursday night

Posted : 18 July 2024

2004 quarter-finalists Nigeria are scheduled to arrive in the French city of Bordeaux on Thursday night as the countdown begins for their first outing at the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in 16 years.


The nine-time African champions, who must navigate an interesting group that also includes Brazil, Spain, and Japan, will depart from Spain aboard an Air France flight and arrive in Bordeaux just before 11 pm.


The delegation, consisting of 18 players, four alternate players, and officials, is expected to reach their accommodation at the Hotel Mercure minutes before midnight.


Quarter-finalists at the Athens 2004 Olympics, the Super Falcons last featured in the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in China in 2008, where they lost 0-1 to Korea Democratic People’s Republic, 0-1 to Germany, and 1-3 to eventual silver medalists Brazil.


Women’s football began as a demonstration sport at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996. The Super Falcons made their debut in 2000 in Australia, losing 1-3 to China, eventual winners Norway, and eventual silver medalists USA.
