Speaking on the possible opponents, Okon made it clear that the Super Falcons remain far ahead in quality and experience.
“They are not a threat,” he said.
According to the former coach, Nigeria’s dominance in African women’s football extends across both youth and senior levels, making them clear favourites in any such encounter.
“We are ahead,” he implied.
Okon emphasized that the team’s depth, talent, and pedigree should be more than enough to handle either opponent comfortably.
“We have the quality,” he noted.
He also pointed out that Nigeria’s experience in major tournaments gives them an added advantage in high-pressure situations.
“We’ve been there before,” he added.
For Okon, the key will be maintaining focus and professionalism, ensuring the team does not underestimate their opponents.
“We must stay disciplined,” he stressed.
The Super Falcons have long been regarded as one of Africa’s strongest teams, and expectations remain high as they pursue Olympic qualification.
As preparations continue, confidence within the camp will be crucial.
For Okon, the message is clear.
Respect the opponent.
But trust your superiority.
Because in football, quality often speaks for itself, and Nigeria has plenty of it.
