It’s Olympics or nothing – Ajibade

Captain Rasheedat Ajibade has said that the Super Falcons are motivated to earn a ticket to the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in France, as the team battles South Africa on Tuesday night.

Ajibade’s strike from the penalty spot earned Nigeria a lone-goal victory over the visitors in the first leg in Abuja on Friday ahead of the battle with the Banyana Banyana in Pretoria on Tuesday night.

“We are not under any illusions. It is going to be a big and tough fight. For us, we have 90 minutes standing between us and the long-elusive ticket to the Olympics and we will give it our all.

“We want Nigerians to believe in the Super Falcons. The players are motivated by the keen desire to play in the Olympics. Personally, I have played at every tournament you can think of, except the Olympics. The time to do it is now.

“At the end of the day, the grass will be green and it will be eleven players against eleven players. We are ready.”
