Super Falcons Head Coach, Randy Waldrum has said his side’s preparation for the 2023 FIFA Women World Cup is going well.

This is coming on the heels of the American’s squabble with the Nigeria Football Federation over the allocation of funds made available by FIFA ahead of the competition. He also alleged that the NFF owes him 14 months’ salary.

Waldrum and the NFF have been at loggerheads in recent weeks over different issues ranging from the team list for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, preparations and non-payment of salaries.

Speaking to NFF TV on Thursday, Waldrum said the players in camp are working hard with the feeling of happiness pervasive within.

“It’s been very good; camp has gone really well; the players are working really hard; the talent level is good. We are happy with what we are into now, which is day five, so it’s been fun to watch,” he said.

Waldrum, however, expressed concerns over a few injuries being nursed by some players.

“Couple of knocks and a couple of injuries that concern me a little bit, but outside of that, they are healthy, so it’s all about their performances and how they play,” he added.

The Super Falcons are currently at Australia and are looking forward to playing Canada, joint-host Australia and Republic of Ireland.
