Former Super Eagles defender Ifeanyi Udeze has said the Super Falcons should not be judged by their loss to Canada in a test game.<\/p>\n
The Falcons continued their preparations for this summer\u2019s Olympics in Paris with a test game with reigning women\u2019s Olympic champions Canada.
\nAfter 90 minutes the Falcons lost 1-0 to the Canadians, who they held to a goalless draw in the group stage at the 2023 FIFA women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
Despite the defeat, Udeze played it down, positing the test game is not enough to judge how the Falcons would perform in Paris.
\n\u201cWe have a tournament ahead of us, the Olympic Games, and we shouldn\u2019t use the friendly to judge them. Let\u2019s give them the benefit of doubt,\u201d Udeze said on Brila.<\/p>\n
The Falcons are in the same group with world champions Spain, two-time Olympic silver medal winners Brazil and former World Cup winners Japan.
\nThe nine-time African champions will open their campaign against Brazil, who they lost 3-1 to in the group stage at the Beijing Olympics.<\/p>\n
This would be the fourth time the Falcons would feature at the Olympics, after debuting at Sydney 2000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
