Published on: 12 April 2023

The coach of the Nigeria women national team, Randy Waldrum believe the Super Falcons still have enough room for improvement after their win over New Zealand in Turkey, Nigeriasoccernet.com  reports.

The African giants have been on a good run of late winning their last three games.

Super Falcons on Tuesday defeated World Cup co-hosts New Zealand 3-0 in a friendly with goals from captain Onome Ebi, Jennifer Echegini and Desire Oparanozie.

The victory brought a wrap to Nigeria’s stay in Antalya after defeating Haiti four days earlier.

Waldrum reflecting on the game in an interview with NFFTV believes the team is “Probably still a ‘B’ (grade).”

“Probably still a ‘B’ (grade) for the team, we got three goals and a clean sheet, maybe I guess am a little harsh with that grade, but there are still so many things we can improve on,” Waldrum said.

“We have got better and better, that’s what we need leading up to the World Cup.”

The nine-time African champions are drawn in Group B at the World Cup with Australia, Canada and the Republic of Ireland.
