carton of their white jerseys, a statement by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) media officer, Ademola Olajire, said on Monday.
According to the statement, the Nigerian contingent to the tournament were treated poorly on arrival at the tiny west-central African country.
Quoting NFF’s Director of Competitions, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, the statement said: “We arrived in Malabo to poor treatment, had to found a way to connect to Bata, were rushed into a low-quality hotel and then discovered, after changing hotel, that a whole carton of white jerseys meant for the team had got missing on transit.”
Sanusi, who spoke after the Super Falcons 2-1 victory for Cameroon at the Nkoantoma Stadium, said the team was determined to win gold at the competition.
The Falcons scored first through midfielder Onyinyechi Ohadugha before the Cameroonians equalized through a controversial penalty kick.
Perpetua Nkwocha, four-time African Woman Player of the Year and top scorer at the last edition of the competition in South Africa two years ago, scored a diving header in the 89th minute that sealed the three points for the Cup holders.
