Super Falcons broke a 16 years jinx to qualify for this year’s Olympics at the expense of hard fighting Bayana Bayana of South Africa.

Falcons had beaten the South African ladies by a lone goal at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja and then held their hosts to a goalless draw in Pretoria to progress. The Last time Falcons were at the Olympics was in 2008 in Beijing, China.

Falcons will fly Africa’s flag at the female football event of the Olympics alongside Cooper Queens of Zambia.
