The South South Congress of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has approved the zone’s candidate for the upcoming Nigerian Women’s League elections.
The zone met last Friday, November 27 at Aldgate Hotel, Perekule Street, GRA Phase 2 in the Garden City in Port Harcourt to address pressing football issues.
The meeting was convened by the Rivers FA boss Christopher Green. In attendance were members from Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers state.
According to a statement by the NFF, Falode was chosen as the candidate from the zone because she was passionate and knowledgeable about the game, with cognate international experience, and has the capacity to help revive the dwindling fortunes of women’s football in the country by attracting sponsorship for the game.
The South South NFF Congress also urged other geo-political zones to“join hands with us to give new direction to women’s football in the country as it has suffered in recent times”.
The congress also passed a vote of confidence on the Nigeria Football Federation led by Amaju Pinnick. He was praised for the victory at the U17 World Cup, qualification for various tournaments including the Women’s U17 World Cup and the Super Eagles continued battle to make it to the next World Cup in Russia and the upcoming Afcon Championship in Gabon.
