EXCLUSIVE: Scandal rocks Super Falcons final Olympics squad

The Super Falcons final squad for the Paris 2024 Olympics will be announced any time from now, but it will include two players imposed on coach Randy Waldrum.
Sources inside the team told our reporter that in the first instance the Texan coach did not plan to have a list of four alternate players besides a final 18-person squad.
However, four alternate players were forwarded to the organisers unknown to the coach.
Among these players are two veteran players who have not been involved with the team in recent times because the coach said he has no use for them.
This latest selection scandal is expected to bring Waldrum in another face-off with the NFF.
It would be recalled that the American coach and his employers rowed openly in the build-up to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
All appeared to be forgotten and forgiven when against most expectations, Waldrum guided the Super Falcons past a “Group of Death” that housed hosts Australia and Olympic Gold medalist Canada.
The Super Falcons are again drawn in a difficult-looking first round group at the Paris Olympics after they were pitched against world champions Spain, former world champions Japan and South American champions Brazil.
Nine-time African champions open their Paris Olympics campaign on July 25 against Brazil in Bordeaux.
