Before the final match, Nigerian officials had petitioned against two members of the Equatorial Guinea team on the suspicion that they are hermaphrodites.

Speaking to Trustsports on arrival from South Africa, Ordega who plays for Invincible Angels of Gboko said when Falcons were to take on Equatorial Guinea in the finals, they were not afraid because they knew they would beat their opponents.

She said even when the going became very tough, they still remained confident because they were playing better and creating more scoring chances.

The player said it was the pressure on their opponents’ defence that made them to score the two own goals that propelled Falcons to victory.

“In the final match against Equatorial Guinea, we were sure of victory. Althoughour officials had written a petition against the Simpores, we were not afraid. We concluded that even if they were 11 boys against us, we would beat them and that is what we did”.

“We thank God for the success and we hope to do more for this great country. Nigerians have shown us how much they love us and we shall do more for them”.

In addition, she said for the team to do well at the 2011 FIFA Women World Cup, the team’s handlers must maintain the present policy of mixing the young players with the older ones.

She said the team’s handlers should consider giving more opportunities for more members of the 2010 silver winning Falconets to be part of Falcons as they begin preparations for the 2011 World Cup.

The former Falconet said Super Flacons recorded one hundred percent run at the 2010 Africa Women Championship because younger players from the cadet teams like herself, Helen Ukaonu, Desire Oparanozie and Ebere Orji and Loveth Ayilla were given the opportunity to be part of the senior national team.

She commended the team’s technical for giving them and a chance and said if the right step is maintained, the team would do well at the 2011 World Cup in Germany.
